Somali Yacht Club - The Sun

New week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

SOMALI YACHT CLUB is a stoner rock trio from Lviv, Ukraine. The band mixes elements of stoner rock, psychedelic rock, shoegazing and post-metal in their music.

Formed in 2010 as a jam band, they evolved quickly to a main band for its members. In August 2011 they self-released their first four-song EP "Sandsongs", followed by two 1-track EPs and finally their stunning full length "The Sun". The album was self released by the band, got a digital release by Robust fellow rec in 2015 and is now honoured with a vinyl release.

The White Vinyl Version

"The Sun" is a very atmospheric album where the varying is high, slow, emotional harmonies to exploding parts with heavy riffing layers along with strong vocals. The album contains only 5 songs, but with a play time of 42 mins, the fact is that every tune is at least 7 mins or longer is what these guys need to tell the story. Long, oh no, perfect!

Along with a great production sound, marvelous dynamic, emotion and mixture of the different styles along with professional musicians with lyrics that covers the dark themes is a perfect mix.

Sum: Great stuff, check it up, could be so that you would not be able to live with out it!

Alcest - Autre Temps

 

Alcest is a musical project born in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France. It began in 2000 with three members – Neige, Aegnor and Argoth. This band released a demo of black metal songs in 2001. Shortly after, Aegnor and Argoth left the band, leaving Neige as the sole member. This marked a change in style, as Alcest's subsequent releases have more often been described as shoegazing.

As a child, Neige had experiences of being in contact with a "far off country", which he generically refers to as "Fairy Land". Alcest serves as the musical adaptation of the memories from this fantasy world. Neige intends for Alcest to be a journey for the listener to this world through his memories. This change in concept was first introduced on Le Secret. Souvenirs d'un autre monde will serve as a literal summation of the concept behind the band.

"Autre temps" lyrics:
Une prière lointaine que porte le vent du soir
Anime les feuilles dans leur danse alanguie.
C'est le chant des vieux arbres entonné pour toi,
Pour ces bois obscurs maintenant endormis.
Sans nous attendre tant de saisons ont passé;
Les feuilles dorées s'en allant mourir à terre
Renaîtront un jour sous un ciel radieux,
Mais notre monde érodé restera le même
Et demain toi et moi serons partis.
------------------

English translation:

Another Time
A distant prayer, carried by the evening wind
Enlivens leaves in their languid dance.
Hear the song of the old trees, singing for you
For the dark, resting woods.
So many seasons have passed; they did not wait.
The golden leaves dying on the ground
Will be reborn under bright skies
As this weatherworn world remains the same,
And tomorrow, you and I will be gone.
