Melodic post-hardcore led by Walter Schriefels (of Quicksand and Gorilla Biscuits, among others.) Why do people jock Quicksand so hard but this band -- one that I mistook for Quicksand when my friend played it for me -- gets practically no love? Great question. One possible explanation is because people are dumb and the world is shit. Another might be because the listener has to really pay attention to these songs to notice how great they are -- a surface listen might reveal competent but faceless indie rock. No matter the reason, I expect more from you.

ReplyDeleteGenerally music like this sounds like something I would really have liked in high school, but would have grown out of (I don't mean that in an elitist, condescending way, my musical tastes just shifted). But this album is really great. Thanks again for pushing my folky, ambient, and blackened musical boundaries with music like this.
