Aerogramma hardly finished playing their last song or Craig B. was already working with Iain Cook again under the name The Unwinding Hours. While the songs on their self-titled album don’t sound exactly like Aerogramme (it’s only half the band… what did you expect?), there are definitely more than a couple of similarities.
Opener “Knut” is a beautiful post-rock song that grows from something small into something huge. It’s not the only time The Unwinding Hours jumpstart a sonic hurricane. “There Are Worse Things Than Being Alone” is another fine example. But then there are songs like “Solstice”, just an acoustic guitar with some vocals but equally good.
Though it may be too loud and at other times too quiet for the mainstream, this is definitely an album worth checking out if you’re into good music.
Score: 7 out of 10
