How Comes The Constellations Shine is a post-rock project from Portugal with ambient and modern classical references. Belongs To Mafra, the 38th release of Fluttery Records is a sorrowful peace with trembling guitars, pianos and glitchy tapes.
This time How Comes The Constellations Shine comes as a solo act. Originally called Purfect, How Comes The Constellations Shine was formed in Lisbon, Portugal in 2005. Constellations was founded by guitarist Gonçalo Pereira. Working by himself, he completed most of the Constellations future songs. By late 2005 Pereira began the search for band members. The first to join was fellow drummer and long time friend André Abreu. Soon afterwards the two musicians linked up with bassist Nuno Mendonça and guitarist Tito Silva. In 2007 the band announced the departure of Mendonça in January. In 2008 Nuno Fragoso was recruited for Mub Festival concert and stays in the band. The group disbanded in early 2010.
Currently How Comes The Constellations Shine returned to the original form just with Gonçalo Pereira. He also has releases on Fluttery Records under the monniker Diamond Gloss. Diamond Gloss’ debut album Bears received great reviews all around the world.
Belongs To Mafra brings some changes to How Comes The Constellations Shine’s sound. While song structures on this album are the same as the ones that can be found on previous works, the sound has been toned down a little bit, and the piano takes further action on the whole album, allowing the guitars to work like strings ensemble.
“Glow in the Gloom” is the production of talented Japanese duo Gargle. They offer instrumental music combining mixed emotions as if which is trying to express a gleam of light in the darkness.
Gargle create cinematic music using huge range of dynamics based on the sounds of guitar, accordion and piano mixed with the layers of ambient sounds. Their music is commonly categorized as ambient, post-rock, experimental and modern classical music, however, as the lines between each genre have been becoming blurred nowadays, their music is differing from typical music of each category.
The sounds are sometimes cinematic and dynamic, and the sensitive and pathetic melodies are running through the sounds as if looking for literally a glow in the gloom. The sentiments of the songs are enhanced by the emotional sounds of strings coming in the middle of the songs.
The opening track “Presage” is a fine example; It’s not just post-rock or ambient. It’s not a classical music composition. It might be not correct to see it as a mixture of all three. The track has its own structure and its own beauty. While the album contains diverse aspects of sound, it has a consistent uniformity that will appeal to people’s emotions.
Gargle are Jun Minowa and Satoshi Ikeda. All you hear is performed by Gargle and Kei Sunayama on contrabass and Yoko Ikeda on violins. The label owner of Fluttery Records, Taner Torun tells that the number of people involved in the recording process is small but what Gargle achieves in this album is very remarkable. After the recording sessions, the album is mastered by Chihei Hatakeyama.
The album is highly recommended if you like Eluvium, Mono, Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros,World’s End Girlfriend, Our Sleepless Forest, Bosques de mi Mente, Yndi Halda, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mum, Rachel’s, My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai, Brian Eno, Grouper.
Besides releasing an EP through a net label in 2009, Gargle took part in two collaboration albums of Draff Krimmy from Norway and Void’s Anatomy from Canada. Gargle has played shows around in Tokyo, and also went on a short tour in Europe in the autumn of 2011. They intend to keep playing shows to interact and share time and space with people everywhere. The guitarist Jun is also doing his solo project under the name of Yawning and has released an EP on Fluttery Records.
