DDENT - آكتئاب
Hailing from Paris, France, DDENT bring
a dark post-rock sound harkening back to some of the older harder
post-rock bands on the early 2000s. Clocking in around 57 minutes,
this big, sprawling double record has a lot to get into. First track /
intro “Habouz” sets the atmosphere and sets the pace with a slow
glowing track that coalesces before dropping into “Arzel”, with
its thundering wall of guitar backed by some Author & Punisher
style drum tracks that fit well with the atmosphere. Really cool
stuff.
“Ghazel” opens with tremolo picking of All of A Sudden I
Miss Everyone-era guitar before dropping into much darker territory
with a nice sludge pace, but not punishing. While the record is split
into tracks, it should really be viewed as one big piece, with each
track being a movement. Throughout the entire thing, callbacks are
made to echoed and tremoloed guitars. Organic condenser-recorded drums
mix with distorted bass while guitars swirl. Fans who miss the days
when post-rock had bite should love this!
