Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving – ‘Dead Rivers Run Quiet’
If progressive instrumental music tickles your fancy,’Deaden The Fields‘ shines some fresh light on post rock. Mainly due to the addition (and occasional dominance) of piano and synths in the mix. ‘Deep Rivers Run Quiet’ comes from the Western Australian post rock collective Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving. It’s not all quiet, crescendo, breakdown, end. Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving are just as prone [...]

Helios – ‘Nothing It Can’
As far as free albums go, Helios‘ ‘Moiety’ is a no brainer (download here - donate if you can)! ‘Nothing It Can’ is a stunning ambient piece, largely instrumental with vocals as an instrument rather than a voice. Its a visceral listen with cinematic scope. Helios began more than a decade ago when composer Keith Kenniff started recording his electronic [...]

I must admit, I was really hoping the music to accompany the name would be great. Thankfully, there’s a lot of charm behind the noisy, experimental, largely instrumental work of Germany’s Ewok Fur. ‘Moving [...]

Two People Playing Music – ‘Beehive’
An introduction is tough for a song like ‘Beehive’. Get ready for some psychedelic, freeform instrumental jazz!? Hmm…that’s the best I can do. Two People Playing Music are a unique animal and ‘Beehive’ is no different. The distorted keyboard tones curl about the rapidly evolving drum groove. It’s hard to know where it’ll go next. The [...]

Gallucci – 'DisAAster'
I love it when a track jumps up and surprises you. ‘DisAAster’ is a brilliant web of guitars going head to head. In fact, Gallucci is two brothers from Sydney (Jacob & Timothy Nicastri) duelling it out. Influenced by Fugazi and Minutemen, Gallucci have released their new album ‘Click To Switch’. Download it free via [...]

Pelican – 'Lathe Biosas'
Chicago based post-metal band Pelican release their new EP on April 10 via Southern Lord Records. They’ve opted for the catchy title of ’Ataraxia/Taraxis’! ’Lathe Biosas’ (free download here) is old school riffage with no frills. If you love heavy guitars but can’t stomach devilish metal vocals then this might be right up your street! [...]
