Title: Soundcheck for a Missing Movie
Format: CD
Label: Hidden Shoal
Rated: * * * * *
An alternative title could have been "soundtrack for a missing movie" since that’s the style of this Italian post rock ensemble. A good work recorded by Sacha Tilotta from Three Second Kiss and son of two Uzeda members, the sound is ok and the production is overall quite good. Post-rock, the way you expect it to be and since I know some of you are looking for these cheesy comparisons to decide it it’s worth of a check or not, the genre is that chamber/well orchestrated post-rock a la Rachel’s meet late June of 44. Solid drum-beat, driving guitars bows, horns and several arrangements that reinforce the simple structure of most of the tracks. The band is not that technical as those I’ve mentioned, but with a could of good riffs, melody and these reinforcements the result is quite juicy above all if you’re a fan of the genre. Sometimes this or that passage is quite predictable but is suppose these guys are quite young so there’s enough room for improving, melodically everything is ok, maybe the next step is a further development of their personality. Maybe they’re a little bit too "loyal to the dogmas" of this musical style and even if they already have the "suggestion" by their side the expression has its importance.
