The second album by A Short Apnea, Illu ogod ellat Rhagedia (Ustrainhustri) is
a concept album divided into three long tracks, themselves evolving
tunes composed of different movements. The innovative rock symphony –
involving not only guitar, bass, and drums but also accordion, sax,
clarinet, ’60s psychedelic experimentation, jazz as free expression, and
’90s american noise rock – breaches today’s rock line and finds its
place as a hybrid music born of the mating of post-rock and experimental
noise. With its instrumental pieces, A Short Apnea builds an evocative
soundtrack-like album that works with variations of mood. The musicians
take you from dark alleys where you witness a surrealistic apparition to
disquieting dank sewers, then change the general atmosphere here and
there with a melodic passage reflecting hope, while always bringing you
back to spasmodic and bizarre tunes or dissonant and quiet
experimentations. Dense and complex but at the same time evocative and
easily accessible, A Short Apnea brilliantly proves with Illu ogod ellat Rhagedia (Ustrainhustri) a that avant-garde does not necessary means intellectual or inapproachable.
