Syberia craft intricate and involving post-rock opuses, and they have never sounded more assured than on Seeds Of Change. Following in the footsteps of Caspian, Mogwai and Russian Circles, their instrumental works are complex yet instantly accessible, weighty, gorgeously melodic, and always deeply moving. Certainly, whether experienced as individual tracks or as an album in its entirety, "powerful" is a good word to describe the music that they have created, marking a high point in an already impressive career.
Broadening the spectrum of emotion demonstrated on 2016's Resiliency, Seeds Of Change is triumphant, edgy, soothing, urgent, haunting, aggressive, nostalgic and so much more - every song featuring a diverse array of tones and moods, and all of them flowing seamlessly together. The decision to feature synths more heavily also opened up new avenues for the band to explore, employing far more orchestral and choral elements in their sound, which will play a larger part in their future live shows too.
Though lacking lyrics, Seeds Of Change tells a story regardless, which is encapsulated in the title, its narrative centered on an individual trying to escape from the masses and the dark side of society. With song titles selected based on the feelings they individually evoke these too contribute to the story, as does the record's artwork, though the band are happy that nothing is overly explained, giving the listener space to interpret the music as they see fit.
