post rock / alternative
Melancholy Fado is an album released on September 21, by Japanese alternative post rock group saisa. Almost one hour long, the record has nine relatively extensive tracks: Vicissitudes, Sky burial, Restore the pain, Ureu, Morning haze, Emerald, Hello, Lucid dreaming and nightmares and Newborns heartbeat. A beautiful album – exceedingly poetic and serene –, the harmonies are generally calmer and slow, severely profound and vastly lugubrious, although there’s an excruciatingly dense charm extensively diffused on the crest of its highly infusive melodies. What’s exceptional about this work are the soft and brightly sensitive vocals, present all the way through, which is somewhat unusual for the genre.
With a vast sense of practical space expansion, the music of saisa is deeply engraved on the sensibilities of its calmer and sincere majesty; as the melodies levitate throughout the severed existence of its own dream-like parallel dimension of timeless sonorous allegories, the world as you know become more and more diluted in a sensational fantasy of the senses, as well as pragmatically engulfed in the glorious synthesis of a stylish conflagration of virtuous harmonies that comes from the soul, and enter into the melancholy realm of the heart by a sinuous audacity that seems eager to create a world of everlasting beauty and happiness, extracted from the collateral crude consternation of musical tonalities that aren’t fearful of exposing its deceptive sentimentalities.
With a strength that never sleeps, but strikes high at the vicinities of its own melancholy, this album is a fantastic journey towards the underworld of an introspective and very personal universe of dense, but beautiful connotations of life, driven by a surreal symphony of infinite delight, that certainly will drive the listener marvelously satisfied, and innocently involved at the greater axis of a consistent musical style that bravely exposes all the painful nuances of a heart that is convoluted by an endless labyrinth system of dark days.
The highly powerful – though soft and serene – harmonies of Melancholy Fado certainly makes this album to be a formidably superb exemplar of classic post rock – gentle, peaceful, and relaxing –, despite the fact that the vocals present in the work definitely give to the record a very special peculiar atmosphere. Exceedingly elegant and quiet on the verge of its spectacularly sensible sonorous proposal, Melancholy Fado is a very good album, that deserves to be highlighted by its formidable qualities and genuine creative veracity.
