Yellow6 - Sometimes It Seems Too Easy, Sometimes It's Just So Hard [Sound In Silence 115]

Released via the Sound In Silence camp operating out of Athens / Greece on September 27th, 2k24 is "Sometimes It Seems Too Easy, Sometimes It's Just So Hard", the latest full length album creation cooked up by long-standing producer x composer John Attwood under his well established Yellow6 moniker. Over the course of nine tracks and a staggering total of 77 minutes runtime Attwood reflects on shifts and changes of his personal life with track titles like "Aiming Low", "Finding Direction", "Restart", "The End Is Near" or "The Waters Rise But We're Still Afloat" providing hints that these changes might not've been for the best whilst the music in itself seems to be rather contemplative and inward looking, opening with the folksy guitar movements and beautiful, yet dramatic background string works of "Aiming Low" followed by sparse, tender and slightly dubbed out Downbeat vibes well suitable for Balearic sunset sessions, dreamy Post-PostRock and PopAmbient as well as more deep instrumental folksyness whereas cuts like "PVC2" enter droning, somewhat unsettling PostRock territories, the "Zygomorph" is comprised of foreboding, densely layered guitars resembling brooding and ever whirling clouds building up on the horizon before a massive storm hits whereas "To The Final" once again brings forth a peaceful and comforting vibe for a closing just to name a few. A truly autumnal album, this.
