Discordless is an interesting alternative to post-rock, I imagine many of you will comply the sentence is hazardous but what we mean here with post-rock is something really open to many influences and the genre intended in the broadest way not far from how the Constellation artists intend it. At last the drum, guitar and piano plus two noisemakers have a line up congenial to the rock song solution and if you also consider the maintain a quite melodic profile you won't have that many problems to understand why we speak in this terms. The production and the recording are quite good even if not outstanding, despite that the result and the atmosphere are good, the global song structure is not that far from Godspeed You Black Emperor or even from some Pink Floyd. What characterizes the most the whole sound profile is the use of reverb in which the whole recording is drowned and good use of some surface noises crossing the emotionally charged rock/chamber surface. Even if the idiom is that spoken by many bands nowadays I think the interesting thing about Discordless is that they still have their accent and that gives them personality. This tracklist present and interesting combination of different solution, infact we're not dealing with one of those record where you have the typical soft-part/crescendo/explosion alternation, that means this not even that predictable or hella boring. Those misty, post-jazzy episodes like Blue Giant, Red Giant and the piano driven track like 4.0142 Days, Accretion offer some good rock breaking pattern that give an hint about the potential of the band. Still to be molded maybe but we're dealing with an interesting combo and I repeat this a quite accessible recording.
