"The Longed For Season" is When The Clouds debut release. The music within is melancholy Post Rock with electronics intertwined as well as a few other lush/atmospheric stratiforms. The overall vibe is a soundtrack to a nice breezy day where your worries are no longer an issue.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.. I have grown tired of the genre "Post Rock". It's just not my thing anymore, more and more bands these days sound just like the rest. There isn't enough uniqueness/originality anymore, the music has lost it's "edge", & the scene has expanded itself into the Shoegaze/Dream Pop area while almost forgetting it's roots of truly emotional music without lyrics spelling out each and every note. With "The Longed For Season" I feel as if some of those unique layers of "emotional noise" have returned to form as well as picking up a few sounds that are comparable to Mum or maybe The Album Leaf along the way. The music is simple, but overall pleasing. A guitar, keyboard, and a sampler make these "lucid" sounds that standout as a "new"/fresh breath of air that is sure to sound pleasing after a disquieting day. Maybe a new revival is on the way, maybe not, who knows? Either way, if more "Post Rock" bands took a listen to what's going on inside the mind of Franceso Galano (WTC) they might find hope and inspiration into what could possibly be one of the last glimmering sounds of a drying genre.
Overall this EP will appeal to anyone into the Post Rock genre, as well as anyone into nice laid back music without any complications or intrusive layers getting in the way. An impressive debut for sure. I am interested to see where Mr. Galano takes his career.
Standout Tracks: Rise On (I like the glitchy guitar sampling on this one), The November Song (love the electronic layers underneath the guitar)
