Glasgow Coma Scale

Glasgow Coma Scale is not just a medical term but also the name that resonates in the post-rock scene, identifying an instrumental band that has been weaving ambient textures and progressive structures into their musical fabric. Though the group's name might suggest otherwise, they originate from Frankfurt, Germany, rather than the Scottish city. Formed by brothers Piotr and Marek Kowalski in 2011, Glasgow Coma Scale has been known for crafting cinematic soundscapes that blend mellow passages with energetic crescendos, characterized by a deeply emotional core that evokes stories without the need for words.

Over the years, Glasgow Coma Scale has evolved their sound, continuously challenging the boundaries of post-rock and ambient music. With "Sirens," released in 2020, the band further honed their skill at creating immersive sonic journeys, followed by the rich textures of "Enter Oblivion," which expanded their discography later that same year. Their 2021 album, "Apophenia," saw them further explore the delicate balance between melodic introspection and powerful, driving rhythms. The album's intricate compositions and masterful production have solidified Glasgow Coma Scale's reputation as artisans of the contemporary post-rock genre, capable of conjuring vast, emotive landscapes that resonate with listeners worldwide.
