Album Notes

Q Magazine (UK)
Collapse Under The Empire, a duo whose third album, 'The Sirens Sound' is apparently inspired by a black Orwellian view of the future. Entirely instrumental, we’ll have to take their word for that. As for the music, it’s a mature piece of cinematic post-rock sound scaping with the emphasis thankfully on melody not noodling.

Rock Sound (UK)
... Hamburg duo Chris Burda and Matthew Jason make beautiful music together. Crafting electronic post-rock with a flair for the truly cinematic... The 5 songs here are actually imbued with a sense of positivity and rebirth amid any suggestions of ruination. 'The Sirens Sound' is a sumptuous aural treat for fans of the genre.

....it socked us so hard we can’t recognize its towering levels of awesome. Yes it’s post-rock but it embodies the genre without pretention or artsy flourishes, only sheer brute strength and thundering intensity. They don’t beat around the bush - both their band name and album title imply a bloody dystopia, an apocalyptic reckoning that will be as gorgeous as it is inevitable.

Nice sound and one of the most acceptable post-rock albums of the year. After all these replicas and really boring releases of the last years in the genre of post-rock and other instrumental music branches , this album is an exception. I can say, even if they don’t have vocals, that this band can touch inside of you. I don’t know but I think that these guys and “God is an Astronaut” are different, and they are years in front of the others in post-rock music style.

“The Sirens Sound” is their self-released debut album and is a carefully assembled collection of pieces that illustrate their virtuosity incredibly well. From ethereal melodies to swamping magnum opus grandeur, they are clearly a capable couple of guys. If you are an aficionado of “Mogwai” then you will fall in love with “CUTE” too.
