Denmark is the home of Hans Christian Anderson, Lego, probably the best beer in the world and…Sky Architects. Hailing from the country’s second largest city Aarhus, the quintet recently released their excellent second EP The Reflection, a follow up to the bands 2008 eponymous debut. The new five track recording shows the band have evolved and matured from their initial outing, with a direct and more coherent sound but without compromising their love for the epic melody. There is a deliberate rawness with The Reflection that has spawned from working with renowned Danish producer Jacob Bredahl, who wanted to capture the live energy of a Sky Architects show and as a result of this the tracks were mainly recorded in full live takes. The outcome of which plays brilliantly, with each track flowing seamlessly into the next.
With The Reflection, Sky Architects have produced a work to be very proud of. It completely captures the experience the band have accumulated playing alongside the likes of 65DaysofStatic, Caspian and our very own And So I Watch You From Afar as well as prominent Danish acts such as Kellermench, Lis Er Stille and Mimas.
According to the band “Sky Architects are not Post Rock, Metal, Indie or Pop, but instead a hybrid of all these genres and more. First and foremost we play with our hearts and it is therefore up to the individual listener to create their own experience of our sound.” So what are you waiting for, go on and create your own experience of Sky Architects, its well worth it.
