German psychedelic stoner rock trio Kalamata contemplate the passing of time on their new concept album Zenosyne, with five seamlessly linked longform instrumental tracks. A bit of vulnerability has entered their music. On their previous records it was all about wall-to-wall heavy-handed riffs, but on this one they have allowed the light to come in and give listeners the change to make up their own stories as they are transported by the transcendent post-rock.
Zenosyne means being overwhelmed by the sense that time keeps going faster. They don't want to be stuck in the past however. The band went through line-up changes, something that captured by the more reflective passages, but as a whole they want to go forward. Grief for what is being lost forever is a pain in the ass and getting to grips with loss might take quite some time. But as the five track name spell: "there is no going back".
