We Only Said adalah sebuah band dari Perancis, yang memainkan musik post rock/indie rock bernuansa gelap, dalam dan disertai progresi drum yang menggelitik indera pendengaran. Setidaknya kesan itu tertangkap melalui album pertama mereka yang tidak diberi judul ini. Beranggotakan Florian Marzano, Cedric Moutier & Mathieu Languille, Mathias Prime, Matthieu Dehoux, Pierre Marolleau mereka menyuguhkan post rock yang cukup tenang, tidak rumit namun runtut untuk dinikmati.
Tidak bersenjatakan riff-riff berdistorsi tebal, suara gitar cenderung bersih dan membangun irama bersama dentingan piano di beberapa track. Isian vokal tidak melodius, namun membisik tak terlalu jelas, membangkitkan mood shoegazing. Isian drum selalu menjadi bagian favorit saya untuk band band sejenis ini, mengingatkan saya pada rilisan +/- (Plus Minus) di album Xs On Your Eyes. Sedikit mengingatkan saya pula pada mood yang diberikan oleh Friday di Sitting On Anything Cold.
Sebenarnya We Only Said menurut saya menyimpan potensi musik untuk digarap kearah orkestrasi yang lebih megah, spacey namun tetap shoegaze/post rock. Eksplorasi sound gitar dan keyboard/piano mungkin bisa menjadi variasi yang menarik dari track satu ke track lainnya. Karakter sound yang lebih "analog" pada gebukan drum disertai bebunyian simbal yang crashing akan menjadikannya lebih dashyat, setidaknya dalam imajinasi saya. Hehe..

We Only Said is a band came from France, they playing post rock/indie rock music with deep, dark sound ambience and followed by tickling drum progression. At least, that's what i could said by listening to their first album, that is had no title on it. Member of the band are Florian Marzano, Cedric Moutier & Mathieu Languille, Mathias Prime, Matthieu Dehoux, Pierre Marolleau, and they deliver a well steady post rock, not too complicated, but harmonious to enjoy
Did not equiped with thick distortion guitar riffs, but came apparently clean on it. the guitar sound formed rhytm with piano on several tracks. Vocal section not melodiusly sang, but rather whispered and hummed, raised the mood of shoegazing. Drum filling in this kind of songs or bands always tend to be my favorite part, remind me of +/- (Plus Minus) release of 2008 titled Xs On Your Eyes. Also it reminds me a bit of the ambience Friday's had made with Sitting On Anything Cold.
Actually, IMHO, We Only Said got the potential to produce a more orchestration, spacey, but yet still a shoegaze/post rock music. Guitar and keyboard/piano sound exploration may could lead to a distinctive variance of each track. A more 'analog' sound of drum kick and punch, with crashing cymbal everywhere of it, may could make it even more deadly great. At least that's what i could found in my imagination :p Haha
