Description/Reviews:
The uncanny atmosphere of these tales is very well conveyed in the music on “Departure Songs”. The tracks are often built up out of a succession of expressive melodies, each of which take several minutes to develop and play out. With these melodies, We Lost the Sea are able to set a telling atmosphere; a brooding and slightly dissonant mood, that is similar to the music of Beware of Safety, Sleepstream and (the newer) Mono. The music on “Departure Songs” is traditional post-rock, but again the record is challenging in the sense that while talking about dangerous travels, We Lost the Sea venture into some uncertain territory as well.
