Downliners Sekt
The Saltire Wave

LA RECENSIONE

What can I say, I'll be brief.

The fact is, I'm a bit bored with the usual musical offerings and out of spite, I let myself drift into the electronic sea, today called "Downliners Sekt". Set your oars aside when you press play, these psychedelic sound currents will do everything. "Scope creep" is the first track, starting with a post-rock arpeggio that is soon attacked by acidified electronic flows. The delirium begins right from the first bars. Approaching ambient, you can hear sludgy echoes of a powerful bass, their music is deceptive, fierce without being so. "Jawel Cases", the second track, winks at "Explosions In The Sky" but always with an extremely personal point of view.

Great album, I realize when I taste "Panic! sonic monk", and later "Kaidan", an electronic desert in transformation, now post-rock, now ambient, now down tempo. Sound walls with "Shulgin", evolutions in "School daze". A unique elegance these "Downliners Sekt", the more I listen to them, the more I realize it. "Ulver" passages peek out here and there, "65 days of static" revisited and digested in "Point Omega", dissected and seasoned with "Boards of Canada", for those who know the aforementioned groups, listening to the proposal is a must, for others too, if for no other reason than the album is freely available on the official website of the group that dares (not the first) by offering itself with a Creative Commons license.
