AV Sunset are a 4 piece Instrumental post-rock outfit from Northampton, UK.
Their debut album 'Disconnections' was released in December 2023.
The soundscaping work is excellent - Radar Invisible is like an atherieal dream, with mind sirens calmly whirring. While tldl is wide and tranquil - cautiously rising toward and energetic horizon.
Often kick-starting adrift in an eerie well of melancholy and ponder - we are guided through an orientating mire towards a heavy, hammering resolve (Hasselhoff/Monomyths), as if standing in conquest over the earlier struggle - or, as in real highlight Soundtrack, ending in thunderous unison.
There's traces of dissonant guitar shaping a haunted atmosphere, interjected with thick, stomping tribal riffs (Empty Vessels).
Intricate dual guitar riffs deepen with intensity as they carry us between segments (The Science of Fire/Soundtrack/Ancient Radiations), while tremolo lead melodies overlay an acesding battle cry (TSOF).
The beats are crisp, occasionally stomping (TSOF), rising and rolling, pacing the journeys. The riffs are marching and purposeful, and the energy is defiant. While the bass deepens the mood, adding depth and drive.
The sonic imagery is sublime - like we are mystically guided through a rugged landscape. Ancient Radiations had me envisioning a journey through an abandoned Midwest landscape, with the sun finally setting over another seismic summit.
There's diversity on this album, while still maintaining a distinct aura. A tremendous debut.
