With some heightened post-rock and indie rock, Greece’s Flicker Motel aim to make headway with their debut EP “Within Your Reach.” Every band with a debut record has a chance to show why they should become the next talked about artist of their genre and with this record it will definitely garner some attention in their field.
If you look at the genre of post-rock from its broad perspective, is that its a subgenre, which you get those strong influences in this release from top to bottom. Opener “Within Your Reach” invokes a lot of the trippy style elements from prog rock/psychedelic rock as well, especially with the vocals.
Whilst all the tracks are relatively short, it really helps with their style of rock feeling due to how other-worldly their instrumentation is. The songs here follow the same music structure but as it progresses, their chances to experiment and produce something to please your senses are higher. The slow tempos intertwined with the bombastic distortion on the guitars are something enjoyable and even add to the melodies that are given their own time to shine.
For their debut record, Flicker Motel has come out swinging and whilst it might not be the cult classic that will always be with certain bands, they’ve set themselves a bar to reach for their next musical endeavour.
