Listen to One Day You’ll Miss Today
A quintet from Rome, Irina Nestor explore boundless ideas in the post-rock, instrumental realm, where programming, synth, 3 guitars and precise drumming from ex-members of Two Naked Oceans, and Zerofans, among others, leave an indelible mark.
“‘Night Mr. Lenin” starts the album with a buzzing version of electro-pop and post-rock, where mystery and a chilling setting collide, and “Arpeggio Means Nothing” follows with a darker spirit and cinematic quality as meticulous guitars guide the journey.
Near the middle of the listen, “Alpha” offers a more sparse delivery of hypnotic, captivating instrumentation, and the beat heavy “Hawaii”, where meticulous synth manipulation produces one of the best tunes here that could also soundtrack a night at the club.
At the end, “Radio Guerrilla” winds with unpredictableness and warm melody, and “Pride Of Nations” finishes out the listen on an upbeat and charming display of alt-rock flourishes in a stunning exit.
Though they’ve only been together for 2 years, Irina Nestor exhibit a chemistry that seems like its been molded for decades, and One Day You’ll Miss Today is easily one of the best instrumental records of 2019.
Travels well with: Mogwai- Rock Action; Trentemoller- Lost Reworks
