Description/Reviews: 

In keeping with much of the post-rock genre, the music isn’t overly complex either. Yes it is technical up to a point, but rather than wowing us with displays of dexterity or convoluted ideas, the power of the compositions is rooted in the tones, the textures, the layers, and the atmospheres that are created. And, without fail, each track brings something to the party, regardless of whether or not it features a spoken-word section or, in the case of one track, full-on lyrics and vocals. Soft, quiet parts crash into walls of sound, or the momentum builds steadily to create just the right dramatic effect. Ostentatious solo displays are present to a certain extent but are kept to a minimum in favour of a full-on band dynamic, where it is the whole that creates the magic.

Description/Reviews: 

The appropriately named first track ‘Getaway’ starts proceedings with a journey through the 80’s mainly with its sci-fi synth heavy passages, all very chilled out until suddenly interrupted in the midway point by a big funky style bass line and, is that the riff from ‘Hot Blooded’ by Foreigner?
‘Reconnect’ is the debut of full time new vocalist Petter Carlsen and is the most striking change in direction as his clean melodic style along with the straightforward quiet/loud dynamic employed by the band here has a very post-hardcore feel to it, even in the mild crescendo that closes out that showcases his impressive range. This is also showcased on the much more reflective and subdued ‘Rewind’, the main building block being his vocals and a piano line with only a minor (yet delightful) build-up in the music itself.

Description/Reviews: 

Judging from the amount of words I just produced - I genuinely love The Flood Inside. Long Distance Calling continue to innovate their music and the fact that they’re open to collaborations proves that they’re not afraid to seek inspiration that can bring even more interesting outcomes. Their compositions have this beautifully effortless flow to them, at the same time giving the listener a lot to think about. What I also really appreciate is how the theme of flood continues through the album, giving it a concept edge.
