Logh (pronounced log) is an indie rock band formed in 1998 in Lund, Sweden. Comprising four members, their first LP was released in 2002 on Bad Taste Records, incorporating elements of indie rock and shoegaze with hushed vocals and introspective lyrics. The album was followed by two more, with lo-fi shoegazer elements, lightly brushed snares, subtle guitar strumming, and droning bass lines.

I´m waiting for a sign or two to sparkle through your closed window and make me luminous outside. I have a complete list of your demons written around my cold wet glass. Empty like wasted time. As I drank, it tasted like struggling angels down to my throat. I have a ticket in my hand. A feather in my tongue. A dream in the shade. Shut your mouth and my heart will speak your ghosts away.

Estonian indie label Seksound releases Imandra Lake’s debut album Seesamseesam on September 2010, making Estonia richer by another shining shoegaze pearl. Imandra Lake is a new project of Pia Fraus’ Rein Fuks and Eve Komp, formed in 2008 in Tallinn, Estonia, and follows the similar shoegaze line but it’s all fresh and speaks Estonian. The tracks that have been heard here and there so far have caused quite an excitement and received positive feedback. Imandra Lake’s shoegaze is noisy and reverberant but less pop and quite tranquil and deep, reaching even the boundaries of the darker side of folk.
[ Seesamseesam ] is thoughtful and dreamy, it should not be listened in haste. It is a walk, with musicians as a guide, looking on the listener from above, singing about what the see from up there, from the mountaintops and clouds. They tell us through music about things small and close and so fantastic. For this, they use walls of noise, a wide range of instruments, minimalist lyrics and their mother tongue.
It’s little surprise that the debut album from [ Imandra Lake ] sounds rather like the band that spawned it — both Rein Fuks and Eve Komp are longtime members of [ Pia Fraus ] and the same sense of sweetly tuneful shoegaze “as opposed to full sonic violence” carries over to Seesamseesam. With its linguistic focus fully on the performers’ native Estonian, there’s a slight statement of purpose at work, but given the sonic style’s emphasis on music and harmonies over lyrical straightforwardness it’s more of a sidestep — and above all else, it still sounds lovely. The opening “Öö Laul” may begin with what sounds like autoharp or ukulele but within a few seconds it’s all rich woozy feedback and often enveloping half-sighed singing, so if it’s business as usual in ways it’s still thoroughly enjoyable.
From there the bandmembers make their way across 11 songs all told, steering clear of overt electronic/dance fusions in favor of rock arrangements and playing everything themselves. There are all sorts of now classic tropes at work — not for nothing does “Ilus Aeg” start off with a slightly slower version of the Ronettes’ “Be My Baby” drums as swathed with the Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Just Like Honey” echo, followed later in the song by none-more-Kevin Shields guitar tones — but if the reference points are clear, the resultant efforts still sound good (the song in question has a stately roll to it, emphasized by a deep-as-hell bassline).
There’s also a regular emphasis on acoustic instrumentation, as can be heard on the heavily drone-touched “Ole Mu Laev.” Above all their singing, constantly harmonized throughout, has its own take on dream pop’s possibilities, a little more clear, airy, and — perhaps strange to say — restrained than many of its contemporaries.

Roland Daum is the man behind [ Six String Malfunction ], born in Prescott, Arizona. He has been known to live in Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa and Flagstaff. He plays [ or has played ] music in various obscure local bands since the early 1990′s. He likes cats, tea, Cormac McCarthy and vegetarian food. He has been described as a recluse, which is probably not far from the truth.
[ Last.FM ] ~ Six String Malfunction was formed in 1994 by Roland Daum. The intent was to make ambient 4-track recordings – sometimes quiet, sometimes noisy – that blur the lines between fuzzed out dream pop, short-wave radio static and oceans of reverberated, orchestral electric guitar. Sporadic live incarnations have existed in various lineups, with additional elements ranging from vibraphone, didgeri-do, timpani, viola and drums to the multi-guitar wall of drones.
[ http://dashitzine.tripod.com ] QUOTE ~ The best way to describe the overall sound would be terrific background music with an occasional disturbance. The first time I listened to this I was walking on a clear day. There was a warm breeze and seagulls flying by. The music fit the setting so well it made me wonder if one was caused by the other or simply enhanced.

[ Willamette ] may be an unfamiliar name but its members are no newbies; a side-project by the brothers Chong, better known to ambience chasers as Northern, whose album Drawn [ Infraction - INFX 024 ] warmed our ears back in 2007. For Willamette the brothers are joined by Joseph Edward [ Automobile, Swift ], with contributions by cellist, Danny Norbury.
Self-describing as ‘minimal works for tape, silence, voice and various stringed instrumentation’ and ‘romantic music for the old and lackluster,’ they operate at the interstices of space and volume, quasi-classical cadences offering a distinctly austere nostalgia. The project started several years ago and now sees an LP release in Echo Park”. Your music brings various images in my mind. so calm, so sad and so beautiful. best wishes from tokyo…”
[ REVIEW ]
[ Fluid Radio ] ~ Now this is going to look like lazy reviewing. I’m going to start with a comparison that will have all ambient heads groaning in sheer disbelief at the fact that yet another act/album is being compared to Stars of the Lid…but yes, it’s true. This album uses all the tropes associated with the widely acknowledged masters of the genre and it does so to such an extent that it practically screams ‘compare me to stars of the lid’.
We’re all familiar with this comparison and it has become such a cliche that it’s essentially shorthand for ‘this is an ambient album’. Large numbers of flaccid, go-nowhere, uninspired albums have been allowed off the hook by this lazy comparison. Not only does this allow a large volume of shit to flood the market, but it also detracts from the genuine majesty that SOTL display and for which they are rightly acknowledged.
So with that aside, I am pleased to say that Willamette have managed to produce an album that is truly worthy of the comparison. ‘Echo Park’ is an album of diffuse splendour, plaintive sketches, and beautiful, wistful melancholia…all delivered with an acute sense of restraint and precision.
The 10 tracks are, on the whole, relatively brief for the genre (maximum of five and a half minutes) and, to my mind at least, this should be taken as a significant strength…ideas are not allowed to overstay their welcome but certainly never feel underdeveloped. Moods are swiftly evoked, allowed full expression and then softly dissipate. It would have been very easy to extend a few tracks here and there, drag out a sequence past it’s utility, and strive for a pseudo-epic scale for the album.
The fact that the composer/s resisted temptation in this regard speaks volumes for their ability to prioritise artistry over posturing. This ‘just enough to do the job’ sensibility also informs the album’s melodic core. As with all essentially minimal music, it’s the parts that are left out that carry the greatest weight and here, each piece manages to convey a deep emotional resonance with the merest hint of ethereal melody.
The majority of the album is carried by gentle swelling pulses of hazy chords – and as such ‘Echo Park’ is clearly an ‘ambient’ album; easily listened to in the background – but when clear instrumentation comes to the fore (such as on the gorgeous ‘New York Heat’) it has a piercing effect that seizes the listeners attention and brings the music into sharp focus.
Albums of this calibre are, indeed, rare. So if there is to be any criticism levelled at ‘Echo Park’, it is probably that it wears its influences too clearly on its sleeve. Frankly though, if that’s the worst thing I can say about this album the message you should be taking away from this review is that Willamette have produced, with ‘Echo Park’, an album that could easily stand as one of the contenders for ambient album of the year. – John McCaffrey [ Fluid Radio ].
Willamette compose minimal works for tape, silence, voice and various stringed instrumentation. Romantic music for the old and lackluster, the compositions of willamette are characterized by meticulous notation and uncommon symmetry, emphasizing the importance of space and volume. The classical fugues of their recordings offer a distinctly austere nostalgia, not only capturing the air of an old Delerue record playing in a distant room, but the sound of the room itself. This music was written for the film All the Lines Flow Out by Charles Lim Yi Yong. It received special mention at the Venice film festival.

Uoh! is mostly an instrumental trio band from Montevideo, Uruguay. There’s a lot of improvisation that goes from mellow ambient guitars to heavier shouted parts, lot’s of crescendos, feedback distortion, reverb and delay are in place.
Pablo Duran, Marcos Miranda, and Hiram Miranda, used to play together in Psiconautas, and started Uoh! as a side project, in 2006, at that time the band started off as guitar-guitar-drums formation. At the beginning they mostly did noise driven improvisations. They recorded their first demo that never got to see the light until 2011 where 75 copies were given away for free at their Brasilian Tour.
Juan Brana then joined them for a small period of time in bass-guitar. He stopped playing with the band but he has been their recording engineer in all of their recordings, and co-producer in their demo, their first live album: Uncle John’s Backyard Sessions, and their self-titled EP. Diego Martinez joined them from 2008 to 2010 playing trumpet and keyboards, and recorded together Uncle John’s backyard sessions, and the EP. Manuel Sclavo, who also used to play with them in Psiconautas filled in as keyboardist in 2011, and helped them out on their tours through Brazil and Argentina, as well as recording their latest LP “Manuales Illustrados del Pequeño Tesla Vol 2: Hágalo Usted Mismo”.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Although all three titles here goes as HIGHLY RECOMMENDED but on a post-rock / instrumental note you might want to start with the [ Self Title EP ] followed by [ Manuales ilustrados del pequeño Tesla vol.2: Hágalo usted mismo ] which brings a dark aura with some solid post-metal elements over heavy stoner influence and lastly the 2008 split album with Siameses [ Uncle John's Backyard Sessions II ] which flaw on a low-end jazz. Be sure to get all three though.
Artist – Uoh!
Album – Manuales ilustrados del pequeño Tesla vol.2: Hágalo usted mismo.
Release Date – Dec 2011
Genre – Post-metal, Post-rock, Stoner-influence, Experimental [ EXCELLENT ]

Glorie [ Glorie “ New Video “ ]
Instrumental band, Glorie, was formed in Memphis in the spring of 2009 by former Satyrs frontman, Jason Paxton, after an eight year hiatus from playing music. The other members of Glorie (Jonathan Kirkscey, Rob Brimhall, Andy Saunders, and Jeff Hulett) come from diverse musical backgrounds and have performed with an impressive array of artists such as Cat Power, Jay Reatard, The Bloodthirsty Lovers, Snowglobe, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, and Al Green.
The band started as a desire to create more substantive, engaging instrumental music with a strong focus on melody. Their music blends acoustic, electric, and electronic sounds and draws inspiration from many genres including rock and instrumental hip- hop. Texturally, the instrumentation is diverse including layers of strings, synthesizer, guitar, piano, and vibraphone creating an entrancing thick wall of sound with a cinematic quality.
The majority of 2010 was spent recording Glorie’s debut record which was released May 17th, 2011 on Makeshift Music. Much time, energy, and money went into the making of these recordings.

[ TheSilentBallet ]:
This melodic Memphis quintet doesn't sound like a rookie band. That's because it's comprised of a group of established players who combined forces to release a self-titled debut album earlier this year. The level of their professionalism is surpassed only by the catchiness of their grooves. Cello and violin add a welcome balance.
==================================================================
Chris Burda and Martin Grimm, of Hamburg, are the founders of the instrumental music project Collapse Under The Empire. In a short period of time, international magazines such as Q- Magazine, Rocksound, and Clash took notice of the band and proved themselves excited about the cinematic sound of their first two albums.
At the beginning of the year they were represented on the legendary Emo Diaries compilation by the US label Deep Elm, among other things. They also composed the soundtrack for the short film Sharks dont Cry for the Sharkproject, an organization which fights at the front against the eradication of sharks.
After their psychadelic mini album The Sirens Sound, which appeared last year, and the split EP Black Moon Empire, released with the Russian band Mooncake, Collapse Under The Empire released the first part of the double album Shoulders & Giants on October 21st 2011, which in Europe will appear under the label Sister Jack/ Cargo Records. The second part, Sacrifice & Isolation, will appear one year later.
2011 has been a great year for [ C.U.T.E ] in terms of releases. The band came up with some spectacular singles, video and albums and most recently "over the last few days" I've been on-line with [ C.U.T.E ] in the light of digging more info's, surprisingly the band already have a planned schedule of all the new works that is in the pipeline for the whole of 2012. I am not at liberty to disclose any information at this particular point in time but all I can say is... We are all up for another good year for sure. That said their fist single [ There's No Sky ] which is set for release early Jan 2012 including a video which is already on [ YouTube ] which you guys can check out. And once again do expect another busy year on C.U.T.E side.
3 weeks to go for this title to hit its official release date and I don’t know if anyone had a chance to hear this new album yet but I had and I mean [ Loud And Clear ]. “Shoulders & Giants” isn’t the ordinary post-rock sound we know of. The German based duo Chris and Martin has taken a different turn combining EPIC guitars with chilled electronic moments and a share cut of sad mood. While one may experience an oppressing and melancholic vibe “Shoulders & Giants” blended elements also comes together delightfully cheerful and bright.
Over the past years C.U.T.E prominent works of creating sound that is not just rhythmic and alarming but sound’s that literally tells a story, music that usually paint pictures in one’s mind and keys ~ rhythms that are equally mood shifting in an epic grandeur carrying along a unique signature of their own delicacy to get you carried away on bliss journey.
The tricky and most notably part about C.U.T.E is that year by year, release after releases the band progress never seems to reach an end. We’ve made the following statement on almost all C.U.T.E releases. “This is C.U.T.E best title so far”. I mean we’ve said it on [ Systembreakdown ] and when [ Find A Place To Be Safe ] hit the market we said the same thing. Again when [ The Sirens Sound ] was released many statement can found and read that [ The Sirens Sound ] is by far “C.U.T.E.” best ever released title. [ Black Moon Empire ] came out just about a month ago and we’ve hold on to that very same statement. And now... on “Shoulders & Giants” yet again we concede the very same line, and yes it is true “Shoulders & Giants” is C.U.T.E most provoking work to date.
This simply goes to show the band persistence and dedication in creating sound that excel all expectations. [ C.U.T.E ] in a nutshell has really matured and grown on us over the last few year and on “Shoulders & Giants” one can expect nothing but fully bloomed sound staring at you and ready to be embraced. Personally if I were to asked to describe “Shoulders & Giants” in four words, it will go something like this... “Shoulders & Giants” [ TOTALLY RULE BEYOND POST-ROCK ].
MARIONETTE ID RELEASE THEIR NEW ALBUM “ALLUVION” ON FLUTTERY RECORDS:One of the most extraordinary bands in Hungary, Marionette ID release a new album.
Marionette ID is a Hungarian experimental/post-rock band founded in 2008. After expanding to a greater audience, they played several European tours in 2010 and 2011. The bands appearance on many blogs, music websites made the label curious about the band and they have signed a recording agreement with Fluttery Records.
The label started re-issuing their debut self-relase album “Emptiness Will Change Your Mind” in September 2010. The band and album received many good reviews. On a review on Sound As Language, the band received this comment “Subtle melodies are countered by moody instrumental passages and soothing vocals. Marionette ID possess an emotional weight and depth that truly set the band apart. This is post-hardcore at its most melodic and structured. Marionette ID are practicing a precision few bands dare to. If you are willing to give Emptiness Will Change Your Mind some time to grow, you will be richly rewarded.”
C.W.Ross said “It hard to pin down the style of music played by the band because it changes depending on what song or even what part of a song you’re listening to at that particular time. You’ll hear everything from Indie and modern rock to post rock, progressive and even jam band elements in the eight songs that make up ‘Emptiness Will Change Your Mind’ and he gave 8.25/10 to the album. Blues Bunny made the comment “An interesting album, therefore, that would have appeal for those who like melody in their rock music or for those who seek to go further than indie rock snack food.”

It was 2011 when Marionette ID started recording their new album. Alluvion was recorded in Budapest from January till June, 2011. In their seven track new album, Marionette ID still try to flirt with interesting structures, heavy sounds using elements of post metal.

[ Travel Light, Walk Slow ] 2011 has been a key year for Julian, who came back to France, setlled near Paris, and also started another project called [Atlantic Drop] with his oldest friend. [Travel Light, Walk Slow] aims to mark this milestone, by gathering all the best songs of albums released between 2008 and 2011. Some of those tracks have been remixed or completely re-recorded, and also includes 4 brand new ones. In the end, it gives a 22 tracks album, and about 85 mins of music for free download."
[ Noisy People ] on the other hand is completely different as oppose to all [ False Awakening ] releases. This one is more on noise side which truly awakes the silent end of the project. Note that this release is a collaboration between [ False Awakening ] and [ My Own True Desire ]. TOTALLY WORTH THE LISTEN and I admit it's a job well done. Actually you might want to get EVERYTHING on this page.

Yellow6 [ Sounds and Moving Pictures ]
Yellow6 has at times been described as post-rock, space-rock, electronica, shoegaze, ambient… the reality is that Yellow6 has some similarity with each of those genres but is not so easily definable, using aspects of drone, repetition, melody, harmony, noise and silence to create absorbing soundscapes to drift off into.
Yellow6 was created out of necessity in the mid-90’s, the necessity to make guitar music not confined to rock song structures, and the necessity of circumstance to be a solo artist. Jon Attwood is a guitarist who grew up with punk in the London suburbs, playing in the early 80’s London punk scene with a number of bands. Landing in the mid 90’s with no band Jon started to experiment with guitar sounds, drones, programmed beats and loops, resulting in a début single release in 1998 on Enraptured Records. This was followed by a number of single, compilation and EP releases on as many labels, with a debut album in 2000, also taking yellow6 into the live arena that year.
Over the course of subsequent years, yellow6 has amassed over 50 releases on nearly as many labels across the globe, remixed or been remixed by many similar artists [ Charles Atlas, Tristeza, Rothko, maps&diagrams, Amp, Bauri, Portal, port-royal ] and played live shows in the UK, Europe and North America with [ Tarentel, Tristeza, This Is Your Captain Speaking, Televise, ISAN, Christ, Jessica Bailiff and Charles Atlas ].
[ FLUID RADIO ] ~ Mass collaborator, prolific artist and soundscape architect Jon Atwood (Yellow6) joins Cyril Monnard (Larkian) to release one of the best albums of the year so far. An hour long dreamscape, woven with intelligent guitar work, intense drones and a sense of assuredness that fixates the listener into a position of awe for the duration of the album. [ Offtempo ] kicks off in what people may perceive as typical Atwood sounds, minimalism rules supreme in “Jazz F2B”. The production is fantastic and each sound in the sonic spectrum shines. What lies ahead, however, is what makes this album stand out.
“Walz” starts off with a guitar line played in three/four, sounding like what Adam Jones would play if Tool had been a post-rock band. The guitar interplay is simply magnificent, layering simple three note melodies on top of each other and allowing them to exit and enter as they please. They might be played offtempo, but they sound magnificent. It really is the sweet guitar melodies that distance this album from others in the genre ( NB. if I say “guitar” one more time in this review, I think I will achieve some sort of record). Usually, even in Atwood’s previous releases, the guitar (yes! We have a record, someone call Guinness!) is laid to sleep under a multitude of ethereal blankets of re-verb, the strings sound like they’ve never been plucked and the strum is nonexistent. The resulting waves are stripped of their origins, with only remains of their signals reaching the audience. That definitely isn't a bad thing, but when one hears that chord dropping, the experience changes completely.
The music feels that much more complete in a sense, the listener can get in touch with the humans that made this music with ease; the interplay takes us into the musician’s minds and guides us through their respective streams of thought. The guitar enthusiasts will pick up their guitars and try to play along, or replicate the experience on their own. It creates a bridge between creator and receiver in a way. It picks the album up from the realm of background music and makes it into a living, breathing entity that demands the full, undivided attention of its audience. The noisy elements introduced in “Pool” add depth, contrast and tighten the duo’s grasp on the listener further. What starts off a spacey wandering piece that doesn't stray that far from The Sky Moves Sideways era Porcupine Tree then turns into a constant tug of war between the beautiful and the dissonant, moving in waves created by reverberating drones and subdued noises.
One thing to note which signifies the strength of this release is that at this point, every track left me with the feeling of “this is my favorite track on the album”, and till the point of writing this, with the beautiful last track “Sequences Inversees” playing in my headphones, resonating with full force within my being, listening to the album for the tenth or eleventh time, I remain to find the answer to that question. This is a work of utter beauty. In all fairness, I came into this album expecting the same old ambient album, not expecting anything new, and I am glad to have been proven extremely wrong. This is the best thing I have heard out of Yellow6’s insanely huge discography so far, and I guess we have Larkian to thank for that. They have brought the best out of each other and released an album that one shouldn’t dare miss. Mr. Atwood, Mr. Monnard, I salute thee.

Dawn To Come [ Self Titled "EP" ]
Two tracks, eighteen minutes and almost no words. But if you're a fresh three-piece from Prešov, Slovakia, as Dawn To Come, you don't need any words to express yourself. All you need is guitar with few effects, bass and drums with double-kick.
Long instrumental songs, somewhere inbetween post-rock and post-metal, with additional production of electronic producer Teapot and mastering by Sandozz [ ex-Dope Aviators ]. That's something new in this country, but it still means, that it's worth to listen to it anywhere in the world.

A U N [ Phantom Ghost ]
[ A U N ] are a Montreal-based band that melt the boundaries between psychedelic, ambient, industrial and doomgaze music. They have performed at the prestigious Mutek, WGT, FIMAV, Swingfest festivals, and are now set to appear at the 2012 Roadburn. They have released numerous praised albums with such labels as Alien8 Recordings, Conspiracy Records, Important and now with German powerhouse Denovali.
New full length of this groundbreaking Canadian duo! 'Phantom Ghost' finds AUN at its most complex and determined, but also at its most accessible. Previous outings heralded as masterpieces of ambient, heavy psychedelic, industrial and doomgaze strains, ‘Phantom Ghost’ finds AUN’s considerable stylistic palette, augmented again.
Fractured voice and hypnotic rhythms are magnified by a sound edging on indie-noise-rock, while also delving deeper into their penchant for pristine and shattered electronics. Drenched in celestial gazy-prog sheen, fuelled by blurry acid drenched dreams, ‘Phantom Ghost’ is AUN at its most otherworldly. Phantom Ghost’ is a wide new door opened by the constantly mutating AUN.

Battle of Britain Memorial [The Aftermath Of Your Bright Beings ]
Battle of Britain Memorial was founded in April 2009 in Toulouse, France, by the will of three friends [ Paul, guitars ; Ludo, voice ; and Vincent, drums ] who simply wanted to play some music together.
They scored several songs but their true identity emerged when Rémi (bass) joined the band in October 2009. Led by mutual influences, from post-rock (Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky…) to screamo (Envy, Impure Wilhelmina…) and post-hardcore (Neurosis, Cult of Luna…), the band established a live set and did its first concert in May 2010. BOBM performed several gigs near Toulouse in 2010, with bands such as Time To Burn, Sélénites, When Icarus Falls or Robot Orchestra.
A debut album was recorded in summer 2010 by Jérémie Mazan (guitarist in Nephalokia) and was out on May 6th 2011. The Aftermath of Your Bright Beings is a concept-album about the decay of the human being through the eyes of a witness, doing an introspection about its own nature, until the irrevocable fall and the final destruction.
[ REVIEWS ]
[ Lords of metal ] ~ "Battle Of Britain Memorial doesn’t invent the postrock wheel again, but this combination is an enjoyable blend of vocal anger and instrumental melancholy. Like Red Sparowes kidnapped the singer from Orchid (the late screamo band, not the retro-proto metal band). The band sounds sometimes a bit in the vein of Rosetta and the Japs from Envy, only less chaotic and sloppy, and more fluidly like Oceansize with the grandeur of Cult Of Luna. The nice artwork makes this album complete. A very interesting debut album that’s making me looking forward to Battle Of Britain Memorial’s future releases."
[ Dirty Filthy Hipsters ] ~ "BoBM are post rock - they use crescendo as extravagantly as the best of their kind, which, right now, sleepmakeswaves are the guys to go for if you're looking for that sweet crescendcore - and they are hardcore - they scream, they feel, and they make you feel just as the wave bands further stateside have been doing as of late.
Aftermath of Your Bright Beings tells a story, and in only six songs it shows more variation than double albums and the longer winded single LP's have all year. Those bands depending entirely on your feelings to get appreciation should take a note from Battle of Britain Memorial."

5. Midnight blue 08:55
6. The fall 06:36
[ Aversionline ] ~ "I'll certainly be curious to see where Battle of Britain Memorial heads from here, as there are a number of different possibilities. It's clear that they have a genuine vision at the heart of their work, and I definitely do admire that…"
[ Blood or love ] ~ "Though they tread down a path that has been taken by many other post-metal acts that have fused their sound with screamo or hardcore elements, Battle of Britain Memorial are still certain to impress. With a variety of influences including well-known bands such as Mogwai, Cult of Luna, Russian Circles and Rosetta, you can be assured that the sound that comes out of your speakers will be every bit as powerful as you think.
All in all, ‘The Aftermath of Your Bright Beings’ is 40 minutes of your life that you won’t mind seeing taken from you. You’ll even find yourself listening to this more than once, and it’s an album that many of you can add to your “best of” lists for 2011. Great stuff."
[ laGrandine ] are 4 guys from Messina area, Italy. They play instrumental post-rock and this is their debut album. This album was analogically recorded in november 2011 by Sacha Tilotta, son of well known Uzeda guitarist Agostino Tilotta, at Dreams Factory Studio in Catania.
laGrandine started playing together around 2008 and already released a self-produced 3 tracks demo in 2010. Their music could be described as an imaginary meeting between [ Slint ] ~ [ Sigur Ros ] ~ [ Mogwai ] and [ Slowdive ] but all influences are mixed in a very personal way to create landscapes that open audience minds. This music is really soul food!
