Labels: Ingue
Review by: Danny Parsons
Like that Talons band I reviewed, this press release has a list of similar bands that this band has played with. I always consider these sort of things a bit unnecessary and showy-offy but what the hey. This is soon to be released on 7″ by Ingue records and I’d be quite interested to see how they fair up on vinyl considering the length of their songs (quite long, but then again this is “post-rock’). This isn’t a particularly bad release as far as this sort of thing goes. I mean, post-rock has been done to death a bit now but this is quite fresh I guess. The first track “” “Minnows’ “” is a lot better than the B side “Dead Horses’. Quite twinkly and surprisingly they don’t rely too heavily on delay pedals. Hitting one note, then waiting ten minutes to hit another. Blah. So yeah, thumbs up for that. The second track I found a bit boring but it is a B side I suppose. They kinda remind me of early Mogwai, If These Trees Could Talk and some of the instrumental sections off of the Low Level Owl album by Appleseed Cast. The cdr I have has a JPEG of the band but every time I try to click on it my computer breaks. To MySpace! This isn’t too bad “” a so-so-better-than-most new post-rock bands release.
