“Timelapse” by Kovlo is time recreated with music

Our third January release is a record of the worldwide known and critically acclaimed Swiss post-rock band Kovlo. The instrumental sound of the KOVLO moves between quite, intimate and mysterious soundscapes, and hypnotic, furious and violent noise explosions, in the best tradition of bands like GSYBE!, Mogwai, Isis, Explosion in the sky, Sigur Ros.

Timelapse” is a personal and original synthesis of many post-rock, instrumental and experimental rock sounds of music history. KOVLO’s music moves between romance and anger, hope and despair, creating a melancholic and anxious soundtrack for the contemporary, the past and the future world crisis.

“Timelapse” evokes time, time that passes and can’t be stopped, time that can be recreated with music. Each song title recalls an event that occurred during the birthday of each band member: “Walesa” Lech Walesa who becomes president of Poland (1990), “Opec raid” Carlos the Jackal who attacks the Opec meeting (1975), “The Dakota killing” the end of John Lennon (1980), “Suez” the reopening of the channel (1975), “Lake Nyos” the volcano that kills thousands of people (1986). Every song is a movement of time, a flow that gives the chance to the listener to explore feelings, emotions, images and ideas from the present, the future and the past.
