UP THERE: THE CLOUDS

Great instrumental album from this young italian band. There is a great melodic work layered atop an energetic rhythm section and I can say that each song is enjoyable on its own right (something that post-rock sometimes is hard because unless you have a trained ear on the genre is difficult to tell one some from other). Personal favorite is "The Last Glimpse Of Hope In My Eyes" with fast and distorted intro and outro sections and a melodic middle section. '-' is a short song that acts as an extended intro to the third song "Your Words Are Meaningless" where the group take their time to build some ideas and bring a distorted and rewarding momentum at the end. Last song is the heavier of the pack where you will find screaming as a part of the group offering. I'm not particular fond of that idea but if you think of it as less of intent of singing and actually treat it more as an another instrument starts making more sense. I highly recommend the band and I will be following their career with great attention: I wish all the luck in the world guys!
