Comment: I am not used to think that post-rock in traditional manner (instrumental crescendo-biased rock/up`n`down guitar-based moving) could save somebody`s life. However, quite rare some groups are able to offer a high-stake for the certain genre, i.e coming across the borders of expectations. Mequetrefe is such a quintet coming from Spain, coalescing post-rock with psychedelia, towering exultations of shoegaze, and lush electronic undercurrents. Some post-metal elements are visible here, though, being expressed a bit weaker than the abovementioned influence realms. And even John Barry-esque airy and blissful harmonica snippets are on the screen. This is a potent accomplishment which contains lots of gems indeed. Imagine as if My Bloody Valentine (or Mercromina - the another and actually more famous indie band from the Iberian Peninsula) meets God Is An Astronaut.
