Album Review: Blueneck - The Fallen Host
When an album turns up in my inbox saying "for fans of Sigur Ros and Explosions In The Sky", I knew immediately I would like Blueneck. From the opening moments of ‘(Depart From Me, You Who Are Cursed)', the band take you on a calming, beautiful journey with complimentary soundscapes.
Whilst some might detest or find the post-rock genre dull, Blueneck show the possibility of breathing some life into it. 'Seven' brilliantly builds up to the moment where, crashing drums and distorted drums adds variation and shows clever structure from the band.
Although it has to be said that at times the band can over step the mark in terms of build and progression; 'Low' dosn't really kick in until the 7 minute mark, but when it does it sounds fantastic with pounding drums and swirling guitars.
