WoodyRATM Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I like this. Even though its not what i'd usually listen to.The drums sound a little weird to me.but its still pretty cool. I'd come see ya live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Thanks And for you or anyone else interested, we're playing the Tunnels on 4th March with Sika Redem, The Ocean Fracture and Archives. Haven't heard Archives, but descriptions I've heard sound promising, and the other two are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Nice stuff. It's probably a bit similar to most other post-rock out there... but at least yr fringes are cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodyRATM Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 yeah i want to know that too.Is there vocals on the song you have up? i cant remember. . I dont remember hearing. So i'd be interested to hear them. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 More of a mix of post hardcore and post rock. Nae sure what to say about it, influences are on our page. Only direct comparison we've had's been Funeral Diner.And Woody, there's no vocals on that one. We're pretty evenly split between instrumentals and ones with vocals though.

Alkaline Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Yeah, i'm looking forward to hearing the other new stuff and seeing/hearing you live. Telos is great, nice build up I think Aberdeen is going to be good post-rock wise this year. Fault and Fracture, Kartta and Genevieve. I hope we all get on a bill sometime together as we're all different enough to pull slightly different crowds.The new Genevieve stuff's progressing nicely too so keep your ears peeled.

framheim Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 sounds pretty good. it seems pretty short once it gets going, it'd be nice if it went up another level instead of finishing where it does. good work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Needs more focus, and structure. Doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. Are there vocals in the other songs? I understand that the repetition and all that is building up an atmosphere and trying to create a feeling of an epic soundscape, but more needs to be done to stop it just being the same riff played through a delay pedal for 2 and a half minutes. Also, a gripe I had was that the drumming dynamics were too weak. At one point they were riding the crash cymbal while the rest of the band were building up the sound, which sounded a bit muddy. I guess what I'm trying to say is if the main focus of the song is the dynamic, then the dynamics should be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make sure the drummer reads this. And yeah there are vocals on the other songs.If anyone else has any thoughts along these lines it'd be really helpful. We've all listened to the kind of stuff for a long time but this was pretty much the first time we've tried writing anything like it so we definitely need to hear where we're going wrong.

johnathan Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 i quite like this song, keen to hear more from you guys though, as it's a little short.it's a nice song, but i don't feel it goes anywhere? like someone said already, would have been nice if carried on a bit with more build up or somethingi'll be at the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 As a regular post-rock listener, I can appreciate what you're trying to achieve in this song - however, it just doesn't hit the nail on the head for me. Others have mentioned that it's a bit short, and I feel the same...it doesn't quite...get there, I think. There's a peak to be reached, but you only get half way up the mountain.Your preliminary climb is an admirable attempt though.I'd love to hear more of your stuff; I think you have potential.
