reverbaphon - our heart beats with joy (benbecula)
this is the second release from benbecula that i’ve had a possibility to listen. and as far as i can hear from this release they are still into some pop oriented music, mellow and calm. despite that, there are some differences from their previous release. ‘our heart beats with joy’ is a very calm release and it has more connections with the post rock sound. however i can’t define it as pure post rock. first of all, because there is no such thing as post rock in its original meaning anymore, but also because there are more styles fusioned in its sound. it actually starts as pure post rock with folk elements, but already in next song the pop electronic influences can be heard. still there is the guitar element which gives us that post rock feeling. the rest of the album is directed in same way: electronic construction, rhythm or melody with implemented guitar structures. there are also some pure folk moments, vocals and singing, peaceful atmosphere… that gives an impression of a neo country sound. pure desert sound, very calm, relaxed and nice. |
