Once you read this text goes to the shelves is another full album Long Distance Calling . So this is the last moment to bring you the latest album Avoid The Light as well as a good opportunity to become better acquainted with this interesting and original band. Long Distance Calling is a German band formed in 2006, while having your account every two (the third any day now), full albums, limited edition demo from 2006, and split EP called the Swiss Leech. Band members are David Jordan and guitarist Florian Füntmann, Janosch Rathmer drummer, bassist John Hoffmann and van Bonn Reimut responsible for electronics. Gentlemen play music on the borderline post-rock with elements of progression. This is indeed the path that walks a lot of teams, but both of these species are so broad and interpretable in many ways that today I am unable to find another team, which I would say that sounds like a long distance calling.
Focusing on the last disc of LDC Avoid The Light that osłuchałem hundreds of times I must admit that the team feels increasingly confident in the post rock climates, and there already (I hope) will remain.
What is common for long distance calling as well as most post rock bands, including the Avoid The Light uświadczymy not too many vocals. Nay, there is hardly any of them here - unless you count the small whispers and mini-monologues. This lack of vocals is one of the elements, where the music itself must be defended at least 100%. What is it about the music so that it can give yourself a well on their own, without a layer of lyrical? The secret lies in the skilful density structure of the work and fine tuning with the utmost care of each recital which appears in the composition. Effect that reaches Long Distance Calling on CD Avoid The Light is a masterpiece example of this approach to composing. In each of the six tracks we see a pattern, the skeleton around which created newer and more complex components. They hypnotize the listener and make the same curiosity about what will happen next, does not allow no remorse off playing in the middle of the track, and in my case, even in the middle of the plate. What is extremely important, although the album is not a concept album, musically is very consistent with the result that 55 minutes of music a kind of one big suite.
dwunastominutowy album opens with a piece of Apparitions, which begins in a rather nostalgic, somewhat ambient way (mainly thanks to the excellent work of keys and electronics) and then to repeatedly accelerate and decelerate until it reaches almost a galloping pace (after 9 . minute) and sharp guitar riffs. The second track, Black Paper Planes , slightly shorter, a little more than a seven, giving even more interesting groove, the mass of interesting ideas, broken down by guitar and percussion, but all of a rather large so. kick.
Some springboard is another song about the mysterious title 359 ° starting peaceful, flangerowanym bass, a bit calmer with a heavy dose of electronics. Similarly, the next track to deceive us I know you, Stanley Milgram that the first two minutes introduces a truly nostalgic mood to later pronounced rhythm in the two feet to change the whole character. After some time, can be regularity noted that once again we find ourselves in a peaceful, idyllic climate, a well-known from the beginning of the song. It is this diversity that makes music without a vocalist, but made just as it does Long Distance Calling, can pull in so that over a ten track passes far too quickly and hit the replay because we want more.
Another piece brings a surprise in the form of substantial amounts of vocals in quite a friend of style, which presents a Swedish Katatonia . This is not surprising, since the disc insert says that this is track The Grave Nehring, voiced Jonas P. Rhenish e - Katatonia vocalist. The song makes an electrifying impression.
plate ends Sundown Highway - my favorite. Maybe a little predictable but it is utterly post rock. We have a basic theme in the whole song, to which each of the musicians in a truly virtuosic leeched their way more and more, which makes the track seems to be getting faster, louder, advanced. Of course, this acceleration can not continue indefinitely and after a few minutes a piece ends with a rather sad acoustic theme.
short, to listen to Long Distance Calling - Avoid The Light , you have to spend a little time to understand the idea of \u200b\u200bartists and empathize with the unique way - a very relaxing atmosphere. This is not music in which we can clean the house or car repair. If, however, in some way interested in you and in zaopatrzycie Avoid The Light , certainly not regret it.
final thought occurred to me what is the memory after the last concert at Stodola in Warsaw last year. Long Distance Calling supportowało there was catatonic and Swallow The Sun . I must admit that I would never have expected such a massive amount of energy from the instrumental ensemble. After the reaction of others to say that I was not alone. So if somewhere in the neighborhood hear about the concert Long Distance Calling - Buy from tickets in the dark.
