4 stars What we've got here is the perfect mix of post-rock with math rock, well I'm not really a fan of math rock, I think it's too confusing and directionless, but I do like the idea of math rock, really quick music with strange time signatures constantly changing and complex structure, so what Volta Do Mar reach here is basically what I like in math rock, fast paced and melodic without all the confusion in the music, with beautiful post-rock moments.

If you are searching for beautiful math rock then make you sure you listen to this, from the beautiful acoustics of "The Sound Of Day" to the fragile vocals of "Lengua Pivo", from the absolutely delightful "Ransom Stoddard" to the hard math rocker "Rock For Nations", finishing in atmospheric beauty of "Sound After Day", this album deserves to be known by every post-rock/math rock fan.
