LA RECENSIONE
A journey into a surreal dimension where a delicate, languid, and dreamy soundscape envelops and engages the senses in a kind of dreamlike suspension. But then, the insistent rhythm of the rhythm section and a guitar at times reminiscent of Fripp bring you back to a "here" that is, in reality, an "elsewhere" woven with glittering drama, raw nerves, and ecstatic melancholy.
These Texan musicians are certainly not innovators: a pleasant synthesis between Mogwai and Sigur Rós (with some influence from Godspeed You Black Emperor). Yet, they combine great compositional skill with the expression of interesting sounds and musical backdrops. Unmissable for lovers of the genre.

An instrumental album of notable craftsmanship, Mogwai-like sounds but less gloomy, a few more rays of sunshine and many sounds that tend to blend without ever becoming trite or clichéd.
Tracks that I believe will appeal to fans of the genre and will engage them to listen and listen again with the terrible feeling of missing something.
By Pandalillo
"First Breath After Coma makes the band’s project clear; the territory to explore is that of rock and the possible uses of its canonical instrumentation."
"Post-rock, the inspired one, innovative in some ways, ends here, the rest is truly boredom!"
