Getting
tired of the whole post rock thing yet? Sick and to the point of
throwing up with the wave instrumetal bands that are inundating
your city with their non-sense lack of vocals and void of big
guitars? Missing all that ol’ guitar shredding so much you cry
yourself to sleep? Well, take a deep breath and get ready,
because the whole thing, scene or whatever you wanna call it, is
just getting bigger and bigger. It is not going away.
Metalheads
are impatient people. I mean metal was based around being
impatient and demanding an immediate payoff. The raid exhaustion
of every cliché that comes with the genre (all the fads; from
grunge to cock rock, girl jeans, breakdowns, corpse paint, just
to name a few) are the first proof of that. Not surprising then
that bands like this Texas ambient will probably be more
embraced by indie rock lovers than beefed up thirty year olds
who still think Pantera is like the greatest band ever. Those
will hate this shit.
Everyone
else will be split. But the patient will be rewarded. Assuming
you know and like Explosions in the Sky and have at least one
album from Isis, then I’d recommend this Texan quartet.
Considering you know all that; what it is about, the soaring,
the growing, the shrinking and minimizing, the crouching, the
jumping, the skipping and hoping, the loud and soft, the
dynamics, the moody and the bi polar, the controlled and the
anarchic. Assuming you know that music needs no vocals to say
something, just a guitar that wails, that bends, bleeds and
blends, some airs of Mogwai and some airs to keep the matters
flowing. Assuming you like all that, I recommend you This Will
destroy You.
