Le Verite thinks your eyes are the sun. Le Verite wants to know what we all have in common. Le Verite shares our silence. Le Verite and the Pachyderm. Well, something like that. This 4 track journey is a bout of small little curiosities; the temperamental soundscapes which sound ethereal in some parts, its post-rock pastel and subtleness are both given equal nods in the 20 minute track, Pachyderm. Then there's "A Shared Silence". Both the piano parts to this tune sound almost poetic; even if their are no words sung, the significance is distinct.
One thing about post rock is that it is at both lengths, selfish and personal. Pushed inward on all of its emotive thoughts; its very core of the emotional strings tangled in thoughts and feelings of internal things, and self-possessed but overtly expressive at times, "What We All Have In Common", takes the listener on a seemingly haunting journey with vast dreamlike strokes; the band is at its loudest on this one. "Your Eyes Are The Sun" mostly accents on instrumentation, at parts that weave in and out of different contrasts, translates into theme's of heart render. With all of these things considered, Elephant, is at its top most best of lengthy (not to mention creative significance) turn-outs. |
