Customer Reviews

Still pretty interesting...

So, Moonlit Sailor bring nothing new to the table of the overcrowded post rock genre. However, what they do bring are 9 tight songs of post rock dreaminess that I actually still enjoy. I own all kinds of "post rock" albums in my collection and sometimes I can actually find little differences in each of them, which makes each of the bands a little more unique in their own way.

Outstanding, truly outstanding work

Post-rock is one of those genres that has had so many bands making tiny iterations of the same sound that it all starts to sound the same. Too many bands with the same narrow musical target. That said, I listen to a lot of post rock and really like it. But my accumulation of it has slowed dramatically due to the sameness of many post-rock bands. Therefore it comes as a glorious, welcome shock to hear Moonlit Sailor. Some of the best post-rock I've ever heard! This album is simply gorgeous and I'm really, really impressed. Highest recommendation. I listened to this about 10 times the first day I heard it.

Beautiful Album

Everything about MOONLIT SAILOR's "So Close To Life" is beauty; the album artwork seems to have been painted by the music itself as it's the perfect backdrop for songs like "Hope" and "Sunbeams", which have a natural elegance and picturesqueness to them. Maybe mother nature actually gave birth to "Fresh Snow", and Adam, Markus, Oscar and Joakim found it, deciding to pass it off as their own art? They call Boras, Sweden home, where "they often experience weeks without sunlight". Which begs the question: how on earth have they created an album so beautiful, and so pure that it sounds like sunlight in such an environment? They are very guitar-driven with he rest of the instruments providing solid support to allow the guitars to roam free, crafting intricate soundscapes that can grow and culminate before seamlessly drifting to a soft, ethereal lull. Perhaps the finest example of this is the pertinently named "A Week Without Sunlight", which features not only fine soaring guitar-work, but an acoustic bridge before rising to that sweeping crescendo. "So Close To Life" is undeniably assured for a debut, and utterly breathtaking. They are on a mission to perfect post-rock, and they have the potential to do just that. They combine the euphoric feeling Sigur Ros induce with all the dynamical awe of This Will Destroy You. "So Close To Life" enkindles a sort of excitement that will render you absolutely numb.
