It all started under quite human circumstances in may 2003, and soon we stood in a small basement and created quite heavy music. It didnt took long for us to find that melodies, emotions and explosions was more interesting. ef use three guitars, bass, drums, organs, glockenspiel, accordion and a lot of effects to create the soundscapesyou can find various (wonderful) mp3s at the ef myspace page belowwww.efmusic.nuwww.myspace.com/efOtterley otterley are one of scotlands hottest new acts, featuring all star line up with members from goldbloom, findo gask and lipsick!. recently played a session for vic galloway on radio 1 air session and are wowing audiences all over scotland with their superb blend of electro pop/post rock.i would definetly say that this band are simply unmissable, an absolute must for fans of the postal service, cocteau twins, tori amos, cornelius, boards of canadalots of mp3s available below, do yourselves a favour and give them a try. i guarantee it will be worth it!www.myspace.com/otterleymusicwww.otterley.co.ukHookers Green No.1 (Snowstorm records) One of Aberdeens most established bands on the Scottish underground scene.

Guest Gasss Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I always wondered what Goldbloom were like. I imagine they were like a badly drawn version of Goldblum, like that episode of The Simpsons with "Bort".Maybe it's the other way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen B Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Ef - wow there's a post-rock more bland, lifeless and unoriginal than Explosions in the Sky. They had a few nice bits in their songs but insist on surrounding it in utter crap and the song structures are balls.Otterley- V.Nice. Real ear candy but sounding purposeful enough at the same time to not sound too self indulgent. The singer sounds a but like Roddy Woomble which is always good, better than a fake American or Icelandic accent.Hookers Green - Och they're okay. A bit more flamboyance and much more interesting than Ef anyway. I wouldn't be bothered either way about seeing them though.So it all depends on how much i want to see Otterley. And how much i'd rather not go to the shithole that is Drummonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Emperor not considered post-rock?? I rather like them. I don't hate post-rock as such, just think it's a rather tired and overdone, yet bands are credited with being groundbreaking for making it, when they are no more groundbreaking than Oasis. And three bands were put up and i listened to ALL three of them and gave my opinion on ALL three of them. It wasn't me making a calculated anti-post-rock post.

Jim Stax Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I doubt there is such a thing as ground breaking music these days. Its journalistic phraseology that should be ignored as it causes arguments about who is better or more important than who. Aaah music is pish! I go along to gigs to see laaaadeeeeez...
