KAUAN (RUS)
AAVA TUULEN MAA Firebox Records
Written by Jake McCloskey on Sunday 24 January, 2010. Last updated on Sunday 24 January, 2010
With their third release Kauan have quickly deviated from their origins as a Folk Doom/Black band in a similar vein as Empyrium and Agalloch, into a dreamy post rock band similar to Sigur Ros without the eccentricity. While most might see the departure from metal disappointing, “Aava Tuulen Maa” is still a beautiful experience capturing the spirit of nature in a way complementary to their blackened more aggressive debut opus Lumikuuro. Right from the starting track “Ommeltu Polku” to album closer “Neulana Hetkessa” “Aava Tuulen Maa” engulfs you in the atmosphere and emanates moods of melancholy and longing similar to fellow Eastern European band Drudkh. Kauan doesn’t fall for the same traps many post rock bands find themselves in. Instead of basing all of their compositions on building crescendos that can be recognized minutes ahead the songs have own unique segments and riffs that captivate the listener and complement each other creating a greater whole. These do eventually build into climaxes and crescendos but they are part of the journey and not the destination. The prime example of this would be the stunningly beautiful album highlight “Fohn”. If you’re looking for something aggressive and “metal” this isn’t for you. But if you enjoy Empyrium, Tenhi or Kauan’s previous work then it get’s the highest recommendation.
