Arriving via Pellagic Records, today we have Sweden’s pg.lost and their latest opus “Versus”. Featuring seven track of intoxicating Instrumental Post-Rock, this release takes the listener into a sidereal journey thanks to the band’s ample musical creativity. Highly recommended for fans of bands like God is an Astronaut, EF and Tides from Nebula.

Opening with the mysterious “Ikaros”, the band starts their journey with a trippy and spacey vibe in this track. Brilliantly changing the tempo of the release, “Off the Beaten Path” picks up the pace and delivers a punchy bass guitar line that is nicely enveloped by catchy percussions and heavy atmospherics. The band does a great job in delivering tracks that slowly build up and peak nicely with crushing moments of heaviness like both “Monolith” and “Versus”.

The band’s musical creativity is one of their best assets as each song in this release features its unique magic, something that is only evident after multiple listens. Our personal favorite track is the trippy “Deserter” with its heavier riffs and futuristic atmosphere. As the album continues to get more intense, we are treated to the killer “Along the Edges”, one of the most cinematic and engaging pieces in this release.

Closing the release with the heavy opening riffs of “A Final Vision”, this track is the perfect closer for such an emotional rollercoaster of a ride. pg.lost only keeps getting better and better with time and with “Versus” they have managed to deliver one of the most exciting and well-crafted Post-Rock releases of 2016. If you like atmospheric instrumental music that is quite emotional and crafty, look no further and pick this one up.
