A BURIAL AT SEA Close To Home

Popis:

Inimitable post-rock outsiders A Burial At Sea return with “Close To Home”, a soaring sonic love letter to the places and people that shaped them. The collective’s first new music since the eponymous debut full-length in 2020, the new album is a breath-taking evolution of their unique, brass-led blend of shoegaze, math-metal and blissed out afro-jazz that draws inspiration, influence and insight from the rich Gaelic cultural heritage of their Irish homeland. Now based across the Irish Sea in Liverpool, principal songwriters Patrick Blaney and Dara Tohill composed the bones of “Close To Home” over lockdown in an intense period of introspection, enveloping years of creative ideas brought to life in the here and now. Haunting, bittersweet melodies plucked from childhood, folksong memories ebb and flow like a stream of consciousness as the eclectic collective dial down the overdrive and let the ephemeral, organic spaces where distortion meets horn section sing out the loudest. Despite being landlocked by forces outside of their control, A Burial At Sea continued their adventure by looking inwards to produce “Close To Home” themselves; a staggering refinement of the band’s already singular (mainly) instrumental sound. The confidence, experience and sheer musical assuredness behind this album renders any generic labels of post rock immediately obsolete. It proves without a doubt that A Burial At Sea are indeed more than the sum of their parts; positioning the band on the crest of a truly progressive wave of uplifting, anthemic post-rock; a cascade of brass-fuelled euphoria arcs across the velvet night as infinite waves of guitar delay lap at a shore both familiar and foreign - explorative, optimistic and triumphant.
