about

Concrete Sunrise is the third studio album by Copenhagen-based ambient post-rock project A Reason To Travel. The album loosely continues the story of its predecessor Kingdom and shines its light onto the remnants of a once-great city that fell victim to the turmoils of war. Enter the wastes of deserted buildings, ruins, and lifeless streets and explore them once more or maybe forever to the backdrop of rich ambient, drone, and post-rock sounds and textures.

Artwork by Gianluca Cardinale.

Press excerpts:

"Ambient post-rock is a beautiful thing when executed as well as it is on Concrete Sunrise. You can wander through its hypnotic and transient labyrinths with a fine-tooth comb, trying to decipher all rhyme and meaning to it, or you can amble barefoot, with your head to the sky, letting the waves of music wash over you, putting your mind in a place of utter calm and peace" - The Smashing Skull Sessions (smashingskullsessions.fireside.fm/articles/concrete?fbclid=IwAR3MB1nCwXSSFNo496kbJzPa5jzRQzjciYRbey4PuhKJWjtrcJ7f_KPIY2M)

"A Reason To Travel was one of those underground tips for people who already have fallen in love with Post-Rock many, many moons ago, but still search a brand new song to fan the flames of pure content. And on the upcoming album we find that this project makes the next step out of the underground’s shadow and into the light!" - Veil Of Sound (veilofsound.com/2023/01/29/Song_premiere-A_Reason_To_Travel.html)

"Everyone who dabbles in melancholic music will find a strong contender in “Concrete Sunrise” for a spot in their charts: a melancholy that is in perfect balance with the intrinsic beauty of these seven songs, filled with an ever-so-comfortable sadness." - CVLTARTES (cultartes.com/on-concrete-sunrise-a-reason-to-travel-takes-us-to-a-ghostly-atmosphere-of-a-world-long-gone/)

(German) "Concrete Sunrise" ist wunderbares Kopfkino – A Reason To Travel breitet vielschichtige und vielseitige, vorwiegend dunkel gefärbte Klangwelten vor uns aus, in die wir uns verlieren dürfen. Die Tracks durchlaufen vorwiegend ambiente, Atmosphäre in sich aufsaugende Passagen, brechen hin und wieder aber auch in heftigen Postrock aus. Ein tolles, eindrucksvolles Album." - 4NDREAS.Postrock (www.facebook.com/4NDREAS.Postrock)

"While listening to the album, I closed my eyes and imagined that I was standing somewhere in the middle of a meadow and listening to nature. I think real listeners of this music know what I'm talking about because the music is fantastic and every flow takes you to a third-world dimension. The entire album is perfectly made and mixed with the idea and desire to create this type of music in mind. I admit that Concrete Sunrise is one of the best albums in the post-rock genre in the last year. Post Black Metal Albums (www.facebook.com/PostBlackMetalAlbums)
