lapses is a new Oakland, California-based instrumental rock band. They've unveiled their debut release, flatland, a five-song EP in which the band makes full use of post rock motifs to create something deeply emotional and well constructed.
With a more succinct and reliable compositional style, the band create atmospheric soundscapes without stretching much in terms of duration, yet they don't seem restricted; instead, their musical journey seems full of ingenuity and progression.
Standout track, Do Geese See God?, is no exception to the band's warm melancholy, bringing to mind acts like Caspian, Explosions in the Sky, as well as the more approachable moments of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
