Polished and honed over a 3 year period, Guangzhou Post-Rock/Instrumental band, Space Station proudly present their second studio album < Home, Fate and Mist from the beginning of the 21st Century > which includes 4 rewritten tracks from the crossover period in 2016.
On this follow-up album, < Home, Fate and Mist from the beginning of the 21st Century >, Space Station discuss the topic of Fate.
From birth to death, every life has details and events which we can trace through our lives, often in an indistinguishable way; everything you come across on your journey will influence your life in some undecipherable way.
Space Station presents songs emotively showing the sharp sides of youthful life, picking out little stories of life from childhood to young adulthood, composed into 4 major stories: at first glance, seemingly irrelevant but in hindsight, actually strongly connected.
In comparison to the 2015 Debut album, < Home, Fate and Mist from the beginning of the 21st Century > presents a thematic approach that is far more abstract.
To illustrate the abstract approach, 3 specific 'color signifiers' are used to delineate 3 different expressions and moods on the album; Red, Green and Blue (RGB), These 3 different expressions run thematically through the entire album.
Speaking of the music on this album; Space Station maintain their unique trademark sound: the use of alternating melody, a high-gain wall of sound and stark rhythms & drum patterns. Meanwhile, the band continue to maintain their ardent pursuit of diversified expressionism utilizing multiple sound textures, improvisational inter-play and their well-known use of unique sonic atmosphere.
Misery in life always causes doubt. As a complete thematic album, < Home, Fate and Mist of the beginning of the 21st Century > will connect with your inner confusion: It may not answer all your questions or completely remove your doubts, but rather it makes an effort to dispel the mist, effectively making things a bit clearer as you continue your struggle to live LIFE your own way, by carving out your own unique path in your struggle to achieve and accomplish.
