Comment:
post-rock is a style which cannot be understood in one certain way.
First, post used to refer to something which comes after rock music
yet still having something common with the previous phenomenon. It is
the kind of ontological explanation. However, such combos as
Stereolab, Broadcast, Slowdive's
Pygmalion can be considered
post-rock in that transgressive sense. Mostly post-rock is understood
as guitar-based music which used to meander on symphonic guitar
progressions frequently from the silent starting point to reach loud
and majestic crescendos. Like a powerful male to provide multiple
orgasms to a female. Indeed, post-rock as a style is a drift between
divine and mundane. Furthermore, the categorisations cannot be
presumed as clear-cut ones between the ones there supposed to fifty
one grey shades of...whatever. Behind the London, UK-based combo
Random Forest is the duo of Aaron Gilbert and David Walters (The
Echelon Effect). David Walters aka The Echelon Effect has grown an
impressive following to his project through the social media and
first of all thanks to his wondrous music. In fact, Random Forest as
a minor brother of it continues to trudge the same path of
atmospheric and dreamy guitars, and electronic beats and suggestive
effects. Indeed, these guitars clearly imply their power to dominate
and emit beauty simultaneously while the electronics used to support
it in an almost invisible way. It can even be compared to The Smiths
at T
he Queen Is Dead (1986) when Johnny Marr added a
sampler/synthesiser (denoted as The Hated Salford Ensemble and Orchestrazia Ardwick at
Strangeways, Here We Come) to complement guitars with more orchestrated
sounds. Or My Bloody Valentine would have been doing since the
Glider
EP (1990) to give MBV's sound the panoramic touch. In a word, the
result is astounding which should be employed as a remedy for
patients with low a serotonin level.
