Pivot - Make Me Love You (2005)

 


Bright, buoyant post-rock from an Australian band that has since removed the vowels from its name. Among the more inventive post-rock records of the mid-aights, Make Me Love You infuses its sound with elements of electronic music/IDM -- synths, dusty turntable samples, glitchy breakbeats, Oval-esque rhythmic skipping -- in ways that make it feel both ahead of its time and completely organic. And no, as much as it would actually make sense, "La Mer" is not a NIN cover.

Track listing:
1. Make Me Love You
2. Artificial Horizon
3. Incidental Backcloth
4. Montecore
5. La Mer
6. Pivot Voltron
7. I May Be Gone for Some Time
8. Kirsten Dunst
9. Helps None but Hurts None

  1. Hi. Nice album! Thank you. I appreciate all the 'unusual' music here. Not a black/death metal fan but hey it'd be pretty boring if we all liked the same kind of music! Thanks again.
