VA - The State Of Trans​-​Tasman Post Rock (2021) Hi-Res

Art As Catharsis and WherePostRockDwells are proud to announce the release of The State of Trans-Tasman Post Rock – a compilation featuring some of the finest post-rock acts that Australia and New Zealand has to offer. Australia’s post-rock scene is rife with weavers of cinematic soundscapes, meditative flows and stampeding riff work. However, while the quality of these bands is unquestionable, accessibility remains a struggle during a global pandemic where live music and festival appearances have been driven to a grinding halt.

“As a genre, post-rock has the potential to tell complex narratives and create nuanced emotional experiences. Take We Lost The Sea's Departure Songs, which celebrates people who sacrificed their lives for the sake of human progress - stories of ambition, loss and despair.” Anyone eager to sink their teeth into more post-rock can take pleasure in the news that Art As Catharsis is teasing new releases from Hashshashin, Desbot and Joseph Rabjohns in the year to come. As for now, sit tight and allow the compilation to take you through space, texture and flow as you tour weightlessly through the aether and depth of trans-Tasman post-rock.
