When one pictures Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, post-metal is probably not among the imagery that readily springs to mind. But the more I think about it, the more the birthplace of Loneshore makes sense. Just as post-metal is often defined by striking contrasts, so is Rio, a city where mountains and beaches coexist alongside favelas and wealthy communities. This diversity is mirrored in Loneshore\u2019s sophomore record, Nothing Left to Deconstruct, which arrives nearly eight years after their 2018 debut, From Presence to Silence. How have the members of Loneshore matured as musicians during this time?<\/p>\n

It turns out that Loneshore wasn\u2019t always primarily a post-metal group. From Presence to Silence blended somber, doomy melodeath similar to Eternal Storm with Opethian melodies. Nothing Left to Deconstruct, however, squarely straddles the line between post-metal and Explosions in the Sky-esque post-rock, while adopting Amenra\u2019s silvery-smooth buildups and releases. Loneshore retains some progressive metal, although this time it\u2019s closer to The Ocean, especially during some of the clean-sung passages in \u201cTo Stride the Black Earth.\u201d In fact, Luiz Felipe Netto\u2019s clean and harsh vocal styles both cover a wide array of registers. Nothing Left to Deconstruct is no less lush from an instrumental perspective, making it an enjoyable listen from front to back.<\/p>\n

Nothing Left to Deconstruct flows like a river, though don\u2019t expect many whitewater rapids. Intro track \u201cSelf Oscillations\u201d is like a gentle tributary, its dreamy vocal harmonies, mild guitar notes, and mesmerizing tom drum percussion rolling fluidly into \u201cStraylight.\u201d Loneshore makes good use of three guitarists and a bassist by overlapping their lines together sumptuously (\u201cParhelion,\u201d \u201cOf Lost Waters\u201d). The 10-minute centerpiece \u201cBirth of a Mountain\u201d features a laid-back recurring melody that rises and falls like a sea of sand dunes. That said, there are sometimes surges of vehemence in the form of blackened snarls and forceful riffs (\u201cStraylight,\u201d \u201cTo Stride the Black Earth,\u201d \u201cParhelion\u201d). Because Loneshore doesn\u2019t overly favor hooks or heaviness, Nothing Left to Deconstruct is a bit of a slow burn, requiring a few complete spins to sink in for me.<\/p>\n

As relaxing as Nothing Left to Deconstruct is overall, most of its individual songs last longer than their contents can support. The majority hover around the 8-minute mark, and all of these have lengthy outros that don\u2019t add much. \u201cOf Lost Waters\u201d begins with a pristine and serene post-rock tune, which is diminished by the minute-and-a-half meandering conclusion of \u201cBirth of a Mountain\u201d that came before. Likewise, concluding track \u201cWith Nothing We Part\u201d is the most languid and least memorable despite a momentary injection of vitality at the halfway point. On the other hand, \u201cTo Stride the Black Earth\u201d is the punchiest and has no noticeable fluff. While the total runtime sits at a fairly reasonable 52 minutes, there is a stronger 40 to 45-minute record lurking within.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for artists\u2019 priorities to shift during a lengthy absence; in this case, Loneshore is the better for it. The post\/prog metal hybrid Nothing Left to Deconstruct passes by like a pleasant ocean breeze in Rio de Janeiro. It took some time for me to fully appreciate it, but I\u2019m glad I did. The main deficiencies holding back Nothing Left to Deconstruct are a lack of decisive conclusions and a bit of bloat. Nevertheless, if Loneshore continues to develop in this manner, I anticipate great things from album number three.<\/p>\n
