Inventive, song-driven indie/post-rock. I know nothing about the inter-band dynamics around when this was recorded, but to me it sounds like there were two distinct songwriting voices at work -- one exemplified by the abstract, cryptic "Speed the Road, Rush the Lights", the other by the earnest, relatively plainspoken "Comets" -- whose interplay makes for a beautifully complimentary dynamic.
Track listing:
1. Saint Marie
2. The Unwritten Law
3. Speed the Road, Rush the Lights
4. Help Me Warm This Frozen Heart
5. I Am the Teacher's Son
6. The End of a Dark, Tired Year
7. The Tollbooth Martyrs
8. When I'm Done, This Night Will Fear Me
9. Luxembourg Gardens
10. Comets

Thanks, I love this kind of stuff. And I am going to assume it is by pure coincidence that "Piano Magic" is also the name of the new album by Lang Lang which is being released tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for this. Sounds like the appropriate soundtrack for loneliness.
ReplyDeleteDo you by any chance have other albums available for download?
