Für alle Fans der etwas härteren Gangart habe ich dieses mal etwas ganz besonderes: Last Minute To Jaffna spielen auf Volume I ihre ganz eigene Version von Postcore, gemischt mit minimal Noise, Ambient, Postrock und Sludge. Auf Grund der durchschnittlichen Songlänge von ungefähr 9 Minuten klingt das ganze jedoch immer homogen und niemals überladen.Bis auf das Interlude Chapter VIII besitzen alle Songs eine sehr dynamische Struktur: zarte Postrock-Klänge werden durch Riff-Gewitter oder Doublebass-Attacken zerstört, verzerrte Gitarren lösen sich in Ambientsounds auf. Diese Dynamik wirkt jedoch niemals gezwungen oder unnatürlich sondern ist immer eine logische Weiterführung des Songs.
Weiter fällt positiv auf, dass sich das ganze Album anhört, als würde es nur aus einem überlangen Track bestehen, was auch die fehlenden Tracknamen erkären würde (die Songs heißen Chapter X, VI, VIII, V, XI). Die Vocals sind immer angemessen, niemals brutal oder weinerlich, sondern der musikalischen Situation angepasst... und zum Beginn von Chapter V erinnert der Gesang an Alice in Chains... mich zumindest.
Das Album der vier Turiner ist bei bei den Labels Concubine Records, Swarm Of Nails, Hypershape Records und Consouling Sounds erschienen und ist bei diversen Händlern erhältlich (siehe unten). Wer jetzt neugierig geworden ist, kann sich das Album bei einem dieser Händler bestellen, wer mal reinhören will ist dieses mal auf Myspace oder LastFM angewiesen.. es lohnt sich trotzdem ;)

For all of you out there who like their music heavy as a ton of bricks I have something very special: Last Minute To Jaffna invented their own blend of Postcore on Volume I, mixing Post Hardcore with Minimal Noise, Ambient, Postrock and Sludge. And because their songs are averagely nine minutes long they don't ever sound inwardly torn (what can happen if there are too many different styles).
All of the songs, except Chapter VIII, which is an ambient interlude, do have a very dynamic structure: delicate Postrock sounds are destroyed by a thunderstorm of riffs and double bass, distorted guitars dissolve into ambient sounds. The inherent dynamic never sounds forced, it always makes perfect sense for the songs.
The whole record sounds like it were one 45 minute long track, which I like very much and what might explain why the songs don't have distinctive titles (they carry the titles Chapler X, VI, VIII, V, XI). The vocals are always appropriate, never too brutal or too whiny, always adapting to the current musical situation... and in the beginning of Chapter V the vocals remind me of Alice in Chains, which I really like.
The four guys from Turin released their LP through Concubine Records, Swarm Of Nails, Hypershape Records and Consouling Sounds and it is distributed by different stores (which you can see on the bottom of this article). Who now wants to listen to this band either has to order a copy or visit their Myspace page or LastFM, which I would definitely recommend ;)
