Album Review: Flying Saucer Attack - Instrumentals 2015

StarStarStarHalf Star

"The dynamics will attract fans of post-rock while the immersive textures will satiate both ambient and noise fetishists."

Fifteen years have passed since David Pearce last released an album as Flying Saucer Attack but really the passing of time has had little effect on the experimental guitar soundscapes he creates other than eschewing the vocals and percussion of the band’s early work.

Over an hour, this instrumental collection drones, mesmerises and eviscerates with a sonic palette that requires it to be heard in a single session to really experience the peaks, valleys and open plains explored. The dynamics will attract fans of post-rock while the immersive textures will satiate both ambient and noise fetishists.
