Sotra – Wayfarer (2014)




  • Kosmische Musik 
  • Space music 
  • Post-rock 
  • Electronic music 
  • Alternative 
  • Ambient pop

Comment: by listening to this handful of compositions by Sotra on Ukraine-based imprint, u|torn I got the idea that Kosmische Musik is by its method quite similar to post-rock. Or vice versa, because Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Ash Ra Temple had existed (or have been existing) long before in comparison to Talk Talk, GY!BE, Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai, Tortoise. All those slowly progressing synths and intention to create a delicate mood around the listener throughout the mostly long-running compositions. Of course, electronic devices to conjure up the aforementioned elements are different and it influences the result. At Wayfarer one can hear blinking sounds coming from a lunar echo sounder and bumpy Moog soup on the bottom and glistening analogue synth-based overdrives here and there. The apotheosis comes at Go North with those tense keytar-alike acidic outbursts. Very solid indeed.

Nanaki – Decline & Dislocation (2018)

  • Power pop 
  • Art rock

Comment: Nanaki is the solo project of Michael Daugherty who is a member of the UK-based combo Postcode. His 9-track instrumental release is based on loaded guitar gears and riffs which used to move from the top of one mountain to the slope of another mountain. Indeed, the touch is epic and majestic. Similarly to the releases of Postcode it is released on Small Bear Records. After the first listening rounds I did get a few impressions of it because it seemed to be an average post-rock release. However, the average post-rock issue may also hide many layers behind the most superficial one. Just will have some patience to get into it. Secondly, by listening to a post-rock release it is also about by discerning the sonic power and a majestic touch of it. From almost invisible progressions and subtle reverberations to overcoming crescendos and ferocious outbursts to make an expressive impact. By Michael Daugherty powerful guitar gears and timbres are tempered with synthesised brass arrangements, however, the latter can only be faintly perceived. Thereafter he reflects upon more picturesque paintings by employing pastel guitar chords, exquisite synthesiser and glockenspiel developments. Indeed, it is a fine result.
