We Lost The Sea - Departure Songs (2015)



Once in while, a piece of music comes along that may serve to essentially correct any mood deviations you may have and put you, the listener, in the right state of mind no matter the outside influences.

Lately, for me, this album listed here has been the one to do just as stated. For the past three (?) months I guess, I have listened to it dozens, hell maybe even hundreds of times – a process that has morphed and evolved into embedding the music within the very structure of my thoughts. Coincidentally, this period has also been one of many changes and discoveries on a personal level, things that themselves are meant to break ground and get oneself out of any numbness that may prevail from…well…simply living.

As for the music itself, the genre would be post rock. But it’s not one of those dwindling projects without any sense of purpose aside from just existing, no, this is a rare case of abject flattery towards the listener, even with the trademark sound of being mostly instrumental. It has a beginning, a middle and an end, all embroiled in the controversies of matching spirituality with science. 

The tracks can be sad, thoughtful, uplifting and depressing at the same time, depending on your mood. But never, and I stress this, never do they become boring or showcase unnecessary parts of themselves, which is why I am truly grateful: because taking aside the subjective opinion already presented above, this collection of movements really is one of the uppermost layer of quality.

And the end track, well…the end track might just take anyone closer to their God, whatever/whoever it may be…
