art rock / stoner rock / experimental
Heroica is an album released on February 3, by American experimental art rock project Sight, from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Fifty-one minutes long, the record has seven relatively extensive tracks: The Call, Contemplations/Refusal, Meeting the Mentor/Crossing of the Threshold, Confrontation/Celebration, Reflections, Finality/Revelation and The Return. A dense and beautiful album, that has great synergy and an imperative sense of artistic grandiosity, this magnificent state of the art work has a genuinely pure essence, with a style that is exceedingly singular, vibrant, serene and profoundly proverbial. With somewhat mythical, inspirational vocals, and sensible guitar lines, that drive the sincere nature of the music’s inherently poetic alignment, the melodies present on Heroica are a virtuous and energetic alignment of marvelous creativity, that impresses the listener from the very beginning until the album’s conclusion.
While you may not become impressed at all at the beginning, slowly, the album unveils all of its fantastic and primordially definitive qualities. With an impressive versatility that reveals incredibly rapturous harmonies, profoundly engraved at the crest of a pungently audacious degree of musical experimentalism, gradually, the style of Sight reveals its strength, which is the almost symmetric combination of deeply furious melodies with slower, calmer symphonies full of ghosts, shadows and expansive melancholy, that occasionally ends in happier sonatas of elegant, astoundingly graceful and original beauty.
Definitely, a majestic album by all standards, Heroica possesses individual qualities, that conceives an entirely different style of music, that reveals an original disposition of sensibilities, in what concerns intelligent charisma, sagacious sonorous perception and creative sophistication. Despite occasionally flirting with pop music, the vigorous sound of Sight never loses its unusual strength, and the album easily maintains its salutary grandiosity all the way through.
With a lucid and visionary musical pragmatism competent enough to establish its own creative standards, Heroica is a sensational and remarkable album, that is never limited by ordinary artistic principles, always eager to surpass sonorous boundaries whenever this is possible. With a great display of virtues that is fantastically elegant and mordacious, Sight is an unexpectedly original project, that is marvelously out of the blue in what concerns technical definitions. As a surreal disposition of colors that fell from the sky in the everlasting night of an empty emotional despair, the indefinite serenity that revolves around the music is a utopia old enough to calm down all the urgent vitalities that systematically hides within the vast demise of the human nature.
