Jakob continue to impress with their low ended, echoey clean parts, and not to impress as much with the explosions that sometimes conclude those clean parts, starting on a banger with the hypnotic Malachite. The energy curve is definitely downwards here, and some of the later tracks are really good and meditative, but in the context of the album they dont sit as well because you'd be looking for more energetic tracks at that stage of the record. I just find their style of meditative post rock quite inspiring. 3.85

One of the best post-rock releases ever. Very subtle and atmospheric.

When stranded in a room without a light and only the most tranquil of noises, Solace is considerably your one true friend. The New Zealand post-rock group Jakob inspire both hopelessness and mystery in the hearts of many via haunting, lush soundscapes which would've lost their spark had this album contained any traces of singing or growls. These seven tracks alone are enough to shatter the dreams of people by explaining to them how grim reality is without any audible words. Jakob sought to create a masterpiece wallowing in despair and barely reaching an in-your-face motif, and they pulled it all off beautifully.

A little less melodic than their previous efforts, Jakob's third opus Solace is nonetheless darker, moodier, and more intense. Tracks like Pneumonia will surely remind people of ISIS' heavier songs, while Lonesome and Safety In Numbers sees our Kiwi friends try to reach for your deepest emotions. A fantastic album.

perfect ambient balance. just as DarkNoctus said: " "This is the pinnacle of post-rock atmospherics done to perfection with not a single aspect looked over" "
