The Return Of Post-Rock

 


One of the most interesting and confusing albums I listened to during the last weeks was Paste by Moin. I don't know what moin means but in northern Germany it is a way to say hello in the morning time. As far as I know Moin is a side project by Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews probably known as the masterminds of electronic pioneers Raime. To describe their music is difficult and for me it is a mixture of post-rock with dub elements and spoken words. But this words are not all they also created a guitar based sound fantastic bass-lines and the drum-work by Valentina Magaletti that I would like to compare Tortaoise did decades ago. Paste is a raw and emotional experience where you can't grab the core of their ideas. An outstanding album where you can hear new nuances the more you listen to.

Moin

 


Moin is the German word in Northern Germany for saying hello and also for a new band from London. Formed by Joe Andrews and Tom Halsted probably known as Raime who released during the last years a couple of EP's influenced by British techno and dance music, industrial and gothic. Now they are back as Moin with a new album named Moot! On some tracks they sound like Fugazi made a new record, other ones have a more percussive mood. The way they transport a post-punk sound into now is very exciting and more than average in this genre. Another eclectic find this year for me.
