Album a Day: HṚṢṬA - L'Éclat Du Ciel Était Insoutenable

Just amazing debut from Godspeed You! Black Emperor-founding-member Mike Moya's Montreal Post-Rock band Hrsta. A lot of the amazing elements that can be found in Moya's other projects are right on this disc in addition to his vocals being featured on several tracks. What I really love about this CD is that you get those great ambient tracks that are really easy to get lost in and yet there are also some slightly more conventional so it's a solid mix. This is the type of album that you could honestly just put on loop and listen to forever. You might fall asleep but you'd do so with a smile on your face. Hrsta is another band that just falls into the category of smart music. L'Éclat Du Ciel Était Insoutenable has great compositions, genuine emotions, ideas being put forward, and the packaging is just beautiful and looks like a lot of time and thought was put into it which shows a really appreciation to the fans and is the reason I still buy physical rather than digital. Favorite Tracks: Lime Klin, Don't Let The Angels Fall, I Can Transform Myself Into Anyone I Want, 21-87, and Lucy's Sad
