about

After years of exploring, searching ourselves, and composing pieces here and there, we found ourselves with more questions than answers. When we could not find these answers in the outside world, we were bound to turn inward. And so we went back to our roots.

This is something we wanted to do while we still have the chance. What cannot be explained in words to parents, we hope can be captured by these songs.

We hope that this album serves as a gift from child to parent. While everything else continues to change, this love remains a constant throughout time.

Post rock evokes such determination in ones heart. A strong sail that guides a lost explorer though the most chaotic storms in life. andy an

Departure Songs
by We Lost The Sea

supported by 45 fans who also own “For My Parents”

The album that began my post-rock addiction - I clicked because the art in the YouTube thumbnail was pretty. And here we are now, with Departure Songs still being the standard that others are judged against. Somber, crushing, soaring, ethereal, this album has all of the moods. thefaultyhammock

Guidance
by Russian Circles

Best live rock act on earth. I am not exaggerating. Three people on stage bringing the most cathartic and therapeutic instrumental music with ceremonial gusto. (on a side note, if anyone involved with the band is reading this, COME BACK TO GREECE!) This album is like the rest of their discography : essential and a magnificent piece of art. Timeless sounds.
