VINYL NEVER FORGETS - Sundays Are For Looking Back
Reverie rewards repeat listens, each unveiling new details in its layered construction. It remains one of the standout European post-rock releases of its decade and beyond. It’s ambitious in scope, meticulous in execution, and emotionally resonant throughout

On vinyl, Mountainscape's Iridescent hits like a seismic pulse
With Iridescent, Mountainscape have leveled up yet again. Iridescent is an album that balances scales and emotion, where atmosphere doesn’t soften the blows but makes them land harder. The band prove that instrumental metal just needs a vision, and in that respect, they’ve delivered it in spades

VINYL NEVER FORGETS - Sundays Are For Looking Back
This two-track EP unfolds like a dialogue of opposing forces, each piece a vast, immersive soundscape that rises and shifts with the weight of nature’s ferocious elements. TRNA embraces contrast in its purest form, letting sound move between turbulence and serenity until both emotions blur into something transcendent.

Vinyl Never Forgets - Sundays are for looking back
Musically, King Nine is a hauntingly sentimental record that unfolds like a slow-burning film. Every track is awash in brooding pianos, soft, swelling guitars, and delicate electronics that intertwine to create a sense of desolation and fragile beauty

Vinyl Never Forgets - Sundays are for looking back
Astralia’s Solstice is an exercise in perfectly balancing patience with vast open atmospherics. It’s a record that draws its strength from the spaces it leaves unfilled as much as it does from the broad sound it crafts

Epic, Captivating & Unforgettable: Zion Returns in Glorious Form
Burdened with Glorious Purpose is a bold and refreshing statement from a band that continues to grow organically into its own skin. Rather than cycling through predictable crescendos and post-rock cliches, these six tracks read as chapters in a beautifully written novel

The Color Of Cyan paint a new soundscape with their latest album "As Human"
As Human is a beautifully orchestrated collision of restraint and power, and it reimagines what post-rock can become when infused with a classical soul.
