Exploring the Emotional Depths of We Lost The Sea's A Single Flower
Fast forward more than five years later and I believe the post-music world has finally been rewarded with the album it’s been a long-time yearning for. What is beautiful about A Single Flower is that rather than trying to surpass Departure Songs, it’s been written to compliment it. It’s that quieter, contemplative brother that speaks volumes in whispers, but who’s message is quietly devastating. For me, A Single Flower is already a masterpiece.

Vinyl Never Forgets: The Sound of Solace: Jakob’s Musical Sanctuary
Jakob’s Solace is many things, but to me its perfection. It's a towering example of how post-rock can be both completely immersive and devastatingly visceral. It’s a record that captures the vast emotional spectrum of the post- genre with rare precision. Released in 2006, it remains a benchmark for instrumental music and is an album that conjures up expansive sonic landscapes while never losing its human core.

Plat de resistance - A Feast of Sound from 18 Seconds
Plat de resistance was born out of unrest and is a brooding reflection of a world teetering on the brink, where war is no longer an abstract backdrop but an altogether harrowing reality. With such a heavy theme, 18 Seconds tighten their grip on atmosphere and weight, weaving dense, ominous textures that echo the urgency of change and the defiance of resistance

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
