Before, After

"Before, After" is an EP by Endless Melancholy. Originally finished in July of 2012 it was released by Twice Removed as a limited edition CDr on November 1st, 2012.

Sometimes you are sent music that is simply beautiful. This is a recent example in the form of Ukrainian pianist Endless Melancholy. A self-taught musician, this work completely addresses what I was talking about in my recent interview with Fluid Radio. This is an artist who has been brave enough to understand that sometimes the most wonderful and beautiful moments are the simplest things to create. This record is so enriching. Essentially made up of 2 long tracks interspersed with minutes of calm ‘You are the Moonlight’ is one of the most gorgeous piano pieces I have heard in quite some time. If it were my record, I would probably not have added the strings to the music. The piano is so strong and enduring that the strings don’t really feel like a necessity. It pushes the music too close to the world of Olafur Arnalds – no bad thing – and doesn’t shout this is Endless Melancholy. But, that small quibble a side, this is a very beautiful piece of music that suggests that Endless Melancholy, or Oleksii Sakevych, could be somebody to watch very closely in the future. Minimalist piano at its finest. Reminiscent of Nils Frahm’s ‘Screws’ this is definitely one for the piano lover and I imagine late night wine drinking.

听到这个专辑时，离确诊中度抑郁已经过去了四个月，已经忘了开始是怎样熬过的。 我快撑不住才开始吃药，只是，我现在可能也感受不到造就孤独的爱了，希望大家能珍惜听这个专辑时的感受。 我觉得，这张专辑是与寻找理解相契合的，有点渺茫。 还有看似随意的一分钟开头一分钟结尾的命名，惊艳到我了[拜]
