Rava's - The Sun Remains the Same
Rava’s The Sun Remains the Same, is from a finish band Rava that I never heard of before. This 4 song album 1 hour long song is quite impressive. The music is moody, polyphonic and rich with drama. Their songs are instrumental and they seem to have mastered the art of droning. The only comparison i think I can make is Interpol’s PDA song or maybe Kraftwerk’s Autobahn.
I don’t always like the droning but when it’s done right its great and this is great. It is a self-published album written, performed and procuced by Janne Lyytinen.
This album is for fans of ambient rock, and post electronic probably not if you are a fan of one or the other I think you need to be a fan of both. These long songs rarely get exude in these musical styles.
I have a link to the 14 minute track for you below. Give it a listen.
