More Info:

Kodaclips invites listeners on a sonic journey with their evocative second album, 'Gone is the Day', released under the distinguished Sister9 Recordings. This Italian shoegaze band interlaces their sound with post-punk influences, creating an album that resonates with themes of detachment, disillusionment, and nostalgia. The album kicks off with 'Glaze Over', an energetic track that straddles the line between shoegaze and post-punk. It's characterized by a catchy melody that sets a vibrant tone for the rest of the album. 'Viola', the second track, embodies the mood of the whole album, with it's driving rhythms post-punk melodies that pervade the entire album, interspersed with walls of guitar in the choruses. The title track, 'Gone is the Day', delves into the album's central themes, offering a poignant meditation on the fleeting nature of time and the echoes of memories left behind. 'Interlude' provides a moment of respite, a serene break in the album's narrative flow. 'Failure' stands out as a track that begins with a gentle, introspective approach, escalating to a distorted apex, reflecting the emotional upheaval of vulnerability laid bare. 'Deadlock' explores the depths of despair and the fight to escape the confines of stagnation, while 'Fall Apart' injects a more rhythmic vitality, portraying the chaotic collapse of the familiar to an insistent beat. 'Number 87' is revealed as one of the album's darkest pieces, with a distorted voice set against a backdrop that shifts from peaceful to stormy, embodying the tumultuous transition from calm to chaos. 'Surface' in particular, with it's electronic undercurrents, depicts a tale of social and spiritual drowning. Told from the perspective of a shipwrecked soul, it's a non-narrative stream of consciousness that resonates with the isolation of our times. The album culminates with 'Sleep, Doom, Shelter', a somber yet exquisite track that leaves a profound impact, encapsulating the band's message and the emotional landscape they've crafted. 'Gone is the Day' an invitation to traverse the depths of emotion, to seek comfort in the shoegaze sound that Kodaclips has created with passion and commitment.
