Fukushima
by Podel
“Podel's sophomore album sees a return to the atmospheric and cinematic undertones of Suburban Memory, but with more of a unifying narrative concept this time around through a retelling of real events.
Strings swell and peak with powerful drums behind them, setting the scene for cataclysm in tracks like 'Fukushima Daiichi'. More ethereal ambient pieces, such as 'Withered Flower', fill the air with dread and uncertainty in the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear meltdown.”
