about

This self-titled 12” vinyl split between Swedish experimental instrumentalists pg.lost and domestic post-rock outfit Wang Wen (罔聞) from China.

pg.lost tackles the A-side with one twenty-minute song divided in two parts —“Desperdicio Parts I & II”—that open with a decidedly doom-influenced Spaghetti Western flair before nestling into more comfortable post-rock ground: crashing rock movements that intoxicate the listener and ferry them through waters of aching, almost heartbreaking emotion stamped with forceful, triumphant and occasionally-violent melodies that recall sweeping windswept vistas.

Wang Wen excels at running emotional relays from melancholy grief to guarded hope—and back again—multiple times within single songs, feats of sonic prowess that make their contributions an ideal soundtrack for these troubled times.

On the B-side, the Chinese quintet counters pg.lost’s fiery, outward-looking track with three subdued and inward-looking sketches. The fragile opener, “13th”, is dominated by mellow, intricate guitar interplay overlaid upon warm and reassuring throbbing organ tones before disintegrating into a pedal-induced feedback fuzz.

“Homeland Accent,” a subdued island in which a glockenspiel, Hammond organ, earnest percussion work, soaring lead guitars and a violin all take turns occupying center stage, offers a tranquil respite before the barnstorming closer “Mouse Song,” the aural equivalent to a flash thunderstorm.

The seven-minute jam neatly pivots from languid mandolin and violin-laced guitar wizardry backed by sunny, bubbling synths to a brief midpoint moment of stark lucidity before the band throws themselves into cathartic, film credits territory marred by agitated and fitful guitar squalls.

And then the sky brightens, the string section chirps and all is well again—置若罔聞: turning a deaf ear to the wolf at the door.

Nowhere Now Here

Absolute hidden gem. God. I am taken aback. The soundscapes are honestly enchanting and immensely emotionally driven. Sorrow and Funeral song are without a doubt my favourites. They are both quite different sonically but are so fantastic. post rock is goated, honestly neiros19

Pilgrimage of the Soul
by MONO

supported by 47 fans who also own “pg.lost / Wang Wen split”

Pilgrimage of the Soul is an appropriately celestial & cinematic listen. This album will lift you into the heavens and take you on a journey, causing you to reflect on life, love and things greater than yourself. It also does a great job at creating an ebb and flow to the tones, going from energetic tracks like "Riptide" to drone tracks like "Heaven in a Wild Flower" and beautifully emotional epics like "Innocence" or "Hold Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand". The PERFECT post-rock record! J. Wright Reviews

The Last Dawn

Before buying this album, I had only heard "Kanata" thanks to the band's Fender Sessions video. It immediately captured me with the delicate, blissful, classical sound. Overall, this entire album has such a gorgeous aesthetic to it. From the 'eye of the storm' feel in "Cyclone" to the adventurous "Where We Begin" and the monumental title track, the whole album is an exercise in post-rock perfection. It reminds me of Walking Cloud but with stronger overall songwriting. Easily one of their best! J. Wright Reviews

Requiem For Hell
by MONO

supported by 46 fans who also own “pg.lost / Wang Wen split”

This is a pretty interesting one for MONO: less symphonic than many of their albums, and thus carries a heavier tone to it, but still indisputably neoclassical. The title track feels a lot like a sequel to "Com(?)" and is truly a titan of post-rock writing! That song also is the mid-point of the album, with the first two tracks having a subtle tension underneath everything, and the last two tracks feel much calmer, if a bit somber. Requiem for Hell may be MONO's most underrated album so far! J. Wright Reviews
