4.5 superbTRMshadow | August 21st 12

Fantastic Post-Rock! Great melodies and the perfect mix of heaviness and simplicity. Also, this reminds me a lot of Yndi Halda (NAMEDROP!!! CHECK THEM OUT!! NOW!!) which is always a plus in my book. 4.3/5

The first lines to its review read as follows; "Post-rock is unique, I think, in the sense that it isn?t as bound by structures or walls, as other genres are.", which quite baffles me when I think about how arid this sounds almost entirely throughout. Although obviously a good album, Great Escape and Ayron Norya are in my opinion the only real highlights on here.

I’m not claiming that When the Flowers Were Singing... is the savior of what appears to be a genre on the downslope, but that would be asking far too much. Instead, Kwoon have created a superb blend of aspects common to the genre, added their own stylings, and manage to create a listening experience both surprising and enjoyable. A suitable comparison lies at the end of When the Flowers Were Singing..., when it ends on a bizarre note. “Untitled” is, most simply, the sounds of boots trudging through snow and the whisp of a harsh wind. How fitting. When the Flowers Were Singing... is a bit aimless and even bizarre at times, and it moves slowly and deliberately, but it manages to instill a sense of mystique and emotion in the listener, and I don’t know about you but I’m very satisfied.
