Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind

Some Guy is back with another review! The album I get to blabber on about for a few paragraphs is Mono’s recently released “Hymn to the Immortal Wind”. It’s another one that comes from that one journal I posted on last.fm requesting people to recommend me music. And here we go!

Mono is the kind of post rock to sleep to. It’s soft, relaxing, and unlike much of my musical collection doesn’t scare people who may wander into my room while I’m listening to it. It’s so relaxing and peaceful that this album does in fact have a permanent place on my sleep playlist. I don’t think that this is gonna do much for people who don’t already love post rock. If you hate the genre this certainly isn’t going to convince you that it’s not a terrible genre, however fans will be pleased.

Kylesa - Static Tensions

For my next review, I, the magnificent Some Guy, shall be informing you of the wonders of Kylesa’s new album, Static Tensions. This band was recently recommended to me in a journal I wrote on last.fm about people recommending me music. I gave it a listen, noticing that it was a 2009 album so that means I should review it here!

I don’t know what exactly I would call Kylesa. According to their Last.fm tags they’re sludge, hardcore, and crust. So I guess that works for me. It doesn’t really matter what genre it is anyways. I found this album to be quite enjoyable. The music and lyrics blend nicely, the sludgy guitar is always interesting, and of course there’s my favorite part, the drums. Apparently this band uses two drummers. Two drummers are certainly more fun than one. Oh and two vocalists as well.

This album is like sipping on a can of Cherry Coke with a pretty girl in your arms on warm spring afternoon. Pretentious analogies aside, I’m quite certain that any fan of sludge or hardcore will enjoy this album as much as I did.

Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs

For my first review I’m going to go with Amesoeurs by Amesoeurs. When one of my bros from the internet showed me this band a few months ago I was like “Wow, this is pretty good, but they only have a few songs so I’ll probably never listen to this as much.” Well now they have a full length album out and I must say that I am quite impressed.

This album is the epitome of hipster black metal. It’s simply beautiful music. Why can’t more black metal take this route instead of the totally kvlt one? Neige, also of Alcest, is a genius. I cannot find a single thing that I dislike about this album. From the interesting sounding lyrics that I can’t understand because I don’t speak French to the pretty vocals of Audrey Sylvain (She’s also pretty IRL and has a pretty name), Amesoeurs manages to create a very unique sound that I’ve never heard anything at all like before. This album is 58 minutes of pure amazing and I strongly encourage just about anyone to check this out even if you don’t like metal.
