port-royal – flares (resonant) port-royal are genoa based guitar collective. their first ep was issued non itaian label marsiglia records in 2002 and after couple years of home recordings they completed ‘flares’. they seem to be post rock band. reminds of post rock ambient bands like labradford, pan american, yellow 6, aix em klemm, windy & carl, loscil, aarctica… and all that kranky esoteric post rock movement from around 2000. post rock as a term is a bit passed but at least we can define this album as ethereal electronic music. long ambiental passages are to close up cold isolationistic atmosphere. they also use electronic beats into his guitar driven ambience as well as subtle spoken vocal samples. but at the end we can still define it as post rock, as all previous mentioned projects are or were post rock.
