A post-rock project of epic proportions that mixes atmospheric riffs with explosive crescendos.
After months of teasing, UK-based math-rock, post-rock artist Let It Eat You For Fun has finally released their debut album Upon the Forest Floor. This album shifts gears slightly from their last release, I Want To Fly The Plane, leaning more into the atmospheric side of post-rock.
With their first single, A Kiss and a Flight, which landed back in March, Let It Eat You For Fun showed they were not holding back. This seven-minute epic had everything you’d expect from a post-rock band, starting with a gentle piano melody that eventually builds up with twinkly, shimmery guitars, dipping and peaking throughout until finally exploding into a huge, heavy wall of sound for the finale.
Following this single, two more were released, Delusions of Grandeur and Diary, both of which showcase the diversity of post-rock that’s on this record. The album features seven songs spanning forty-odd minutes that explore all of Let It Eat You For Fun‘s influences, with softer songs similar to Explosions in the Sky, more gritty songs similar to This Will Destroy You, and finally some progressive songs similar to And So I Watch You From Afar.
The entirety of Upon The Forest Floor was written, performed, mixed, mastered and distributed independently by Let It Eat You For Fun. Adding to the DIY element of this project, a limited run of CDs is also available, created entirely from the artist’s home studio. It’s genuinely a real passion project that the artist has put their all into.
Upon The Forest Floor is available now on all streaming platforms as well as Bandcamp where you can purchase the album digitally and on CD.
