What would we do without postmodernism is one thing. What would artists do without is it more important question to ask. Just as postmodernism has influenced all areas of our lives, it has also influenced music. For the last ten years, post-rock was some kind of imaginary promised land. If you fell in love with those sweet sounds, you had a chance to listen to some new band almost every other day. It is probably the most fertile genre. Post-rock bands are indifferent towards labels, and vice versa. From every part of the internet, you could download EPs and LPs for free.
65daysofstatic are British post-rockstars whose sixth album Wild Light was my favorite. What sets them apart from the rest of this crowded scene is the fact that they succeeded to pour life and dynamic into their electronic and piano music. Peculiar drum n bass Prisms has connected post-rock with synths and lower club tones. You can also notice how one theme rules across the album.
It is possible that you will be irritated by long outros of the songs because they make 20% of the record. Still, without them, the record would not be as efficient. Taipei and Unmake the Wild Light are my sincere recommendations. They are the epitome of the atmospheric-electronic wandering.
Safe Passage closes the album. The climax is not apocalyptical. By using undefined sounds, 65daysofstatic have accomplished much more than just filling the silence. From all the electronic music out there, this is the closest one to post-rock, and from all the post-rock out there, this is the closest one to the psychological soundtrack for all the students who lack focus.
