Album Review - Growth by Wilderness

Wildernesses are a London-based alternative rock band whose debut album, Growth, was released in March 2026 on Floodlit Records. Opening with Sleepless, a haunting and restrained loop that slowly unfolds through warm guitar tones, overlapping harmonies, and carefully layered counter-melodies. There’s a sense of a weight being carried, before we gradually open into something more hopeful and purposeful. We feel that tension between heaviness and release as an emotional thread running throughout

Nowruz in Silence: Discover Post-Rock Artists from Iran

Nowruz marks the beginning of the Persian New Year, a moment of renewal, reflection, and quiet hope. We’re a few days late sharing this, and honestly, it’s been difficult to find the right words, especially not being able to reach out and send a simple Nowruz greeting to family. This felt like the only meaningful way to say something. This year, it arrives under the shadow of war, with many Iranians stepping into it with uncertainty and far from any sense of normal life. At the same time, widesp

For All the Days Gone: Sloen Blends Post-Rock and Metal Into Something Special

Sloen is a french multi-instrumentalist that begun his carrer in 2022. The guitar workmanship on Sloen's new release is simply irresistible.

2 years of Post-Rock Nation

It’s Christmas Eve 2023, and I’m invited by a friend to join him and his wife to spend the evening together. It’s almost time, and I should get up and get ready, but I’m still looking at my screen, trying to make that last change to the code, to make the site look the way I wanted it to. I’m not in the best time of my life. Over the past two months, my life has gone through unexpected changes. Changes can be tough. They can break you, break the illusion you’ve built of how things work. But we
