“Cinematic” is a term often used to describe post-rock and other instrumental rock/electronica/metal. A couple of years ago 65DAYSOFSTATIC created a new soundtrack for the sci-fi classic Silent Running, yet it’s their new release, Wild Light, that takes ownership of that term rather than the actual soundtrack. Displaying the confidence that comes from having a deep reserve of inspiration and truck loads of experience, the band lays down it’s position without fuss. This is not an extension of Silent Running, a return to The Fall Of Math, nor a revisiting of One Time For All Time, although there’s only one band that it could be.
