The music begins with sluggish, vibrating electric bass rhythms that lay the basis for a truly melancholy atmosphere. As the drums move at a slow tempo, ethereal electric guitars come out, typical of Pink Floyd&#8217;s spaced-out\u00a0settings. At the same time, there are obvious elements of post-rock dynamics and the dark, heavy presence associated with the Electric Wizard. What makes &#8220;Birch&#8221; so intriguing is its dynamic evolution. The composition moves smoothly between space rock mess, doom-inspired\u00a0heaviness, and post-rock melancholy, never falling into a single identity. Instead, it constantly changes, drawing the listener through waves of sound that are\u00a0intense. The end result is a tremendous instrumental experience that is simultaneously peaceful and powerful, fragile and crushing. &#8220;Birch&#8221; does not rely on vocals to express emotions; its power is that it manages to create a mood and tension only through music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GOZD - Birch\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KHipTtZM5GU?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GozdBand\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GozdBand<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gozd.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/gozd.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gozdband\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gozdband<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gozd, formed in 2019 in Wroc\u0142aw, Poland by the Gozdek brothers, guitarist Kuba and drummer&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30072,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,5],"tags":[204,5010,1522,1608],"class_list":["post-30071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hard-music","category-reviews","tag-doom","tag-gozd","tag-post-rock","tag-stoner-rock"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30071"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30071\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30073,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30071\/revisions\/30073"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
