For this blog's first post, I thought I'd share one of my favorite post-rock albums. Joined by pysch mastermind Kuba Ziolek on guitar (Stara Rzeka), this record experiments with droning krautrock and improvised yet controlled free jazz. This is a fairly long album, split into two parts: White Side and Black Side. About half of the tracks push the 10 minute mark but never quite break past. Though still on the side of what's considered "unconventional", this isn't terribly a difficult listen, and many tracks wouldn't sound too out of place on an early Faust record. The trumpet sounds like a forlorn street performer belting out in the middle of the night as you walk past the bus station. There's spiritual drones, pounding tribal drums, and ambient samples that all compliment the free ranging brass section. Highly recommended for any post-rock and avant garde jazz fan. Peep below! -N
