To celebrate their tenth anniversary as a band Cloakroom embarks on a space voyage through the surreal soundscapes of the brand new full-length “Dissolution Wave” lyrically based on an imagined cosmology.
“Lost Meaning” immediately grabs your attention with the fuzzy strength of the guitar riffs generating robust rhythmic segments while a bittersweet melodic essence accompanied by soothing vocals flows gracefully through the dense atmospheric maze.
The title track fully embraces a space rock approach to leave behind the dreadful reality as the tempo slows down highlighting the comforting cold tonalities of the eloquent melodic progressions surrounded by airy atmospheric arrangements.
“Fear Of Being Fixed” might sound slightly harsh due to the gritty guitar sound and the consequent monolithic riffage yet the serene vocal delivery and the twirling melodic phrases reveal a softer side.
“Lambspring” offers a kaleidoscopic melodic palette expressing uplifting feelings through the shimmering shoegaze nature of the enchanting guitar work floating within an otherworldly atmospheric realm while the finale naturally acquires some fuzzy energy.
Even if the gentle vocals continue to convey immense melancholia on “Dissembler” the raw guitar riffs become more dominant delivering big groovy dynamics easily embellished by fascinating darkened atmospheric nuances.
As Cloakroom confidently channel cosmic energy and a moody shoegaze flair “Dissolution Wave” unfolds like a hazy daydream focusing on evocative melodies and contemplative themes that seem to belong to another dimension.
