Review

Audrey Fall's emergence from Latvia brought forth an impressive debut album with "Mitau," released in January 2014. The band masterfully crafts a sonic tapestry that straddles the realms of post-rock and post-metal. The album is an expansive experience, running for nearly an hour and molding ambient serenity with bursts of thunderous intensity. Audrey Fall's deft touch in striking a balance between the tranquil and the tumultuous is on full display, taking the audience on a stirring rollercoaster of emotions.

The visual aesthetic of "Mitau" matches its auditory offerings—its cover art speaks to the grandeur and depth of the music inside, presenting a unified artistic vision. Though the album is replete with stellar tracks, "Wolmar" stands out as a centerpiece. Its unforgettable melodies exemplify the wide array of sounds Audrey Fall weaves into their work. Critics and fans alike have lauded the album, often calling it a crowning achievement in the post-rock domain. Alas, Audrey Fall's journey was brief, but "Mitau" remains a lasting legacy of their musical brilliance, leaving a resonant echo of what could have been and the desire for more. - Karl
