War – "Somme, Maggio"

Jan 27, 4:13pm Stereogum
Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, frontman for jittery Danish punks Iceage, has a new side project called War, who could not possibly sound less like the Latin funk band with the same name. Instead, this War is a duo with Sexdrome's Loke Rahbek, and they specialize in murky, diffuse, dark tracks that use loops and electronics. Below, listen to their track "Somme, Maggio," their side of a split release with the Swedish band Lust For Youth. It's five minutes long, the length of about four Iceage songs. Read More...

mp3: Other Animals > Boxcar Blue Do you remember the postrock outfit named Somme ? They sounded like this. Downloadable: Massless (mp3) Well, they have expanded their lineup and changed their name to Other Animals . Their eponymous new album was recorded mainly live in 4 days at Steve Albini's Electrical Studios in Chicago and was mastered by Mr. Robert Spurr Weston IV (of Shellac and Volcano Suns fame). The album sounds like this. Downloadable: Boxcar Blue (mp3) The song above takes a little [...]

Other Animals

Mar 11, 2009, 5:20pm Music For Kids Who Can't Read Good
Other Animals , who hail from Crystal Lake IL, follow in the tradition of midwestern math rock bands like Shellac and Big Black with their brutal sonic ruptures, complex rhythms and angular guitars. They also take from the loud-soft dynamics and melodic instrumentation of post-rockers like Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The result is instrumental rock music that will invade your ears and have you setting fire to your speakers. Well, maybe you won't get that dramatic about it, but it's hard to deny the intensity and momentum behind these songs. The band was [...]

Other Animals - free album download

Feb 25, 2009, 2:25pm How Marvellous...
Other Animals - free album download Do I like Experimental Nu-Jazz?, Well, do I? - I'd have thought not, although I find genre-labels often serve more to confuse than inform, the potential listener. I really do like Other Animals though, and whatever label you slap on their brand of instrumental 'rock' (doh!), the fact is - they're bloody good at it; weaving a wonderful series of patterns & textures, both simple & intricate, muscular & subtle, over hugely articulate drumming. Sounds range from a near-wall of intelligent, electric guitar, to the most delicate & gentle interludes; and always an underlying rhythm - all [...]

On Rotation April 11th

Apr 11, 2007, 3:13pm Quarterlifeparty
On Rotation April 11th The Besnard Lakes - Devastation The Beach Boys are influencing indie rock more and more these days and the Besnard Lakes are one of those bands that are utilizing that influence and adding their own style to it, kind of a Beach Boys moon the dark side of town. The slow pace of the album will put you into a nice lazy trance. This track explodes off the album for me and is a good climax from the tracks coming before it. Purchase here. Ryan Adams [...]

Somme

Feb 19, 2007, 4:08pm Music For Kids Who Can't Read Good
Somme Somme doesn't so much play out of your stereo, it furiously invades your eardrums. I was first introduced to the band by someone named Ryan, a reader that happens to live in the same dorm complex as me. He said that he went to Jr. High with these guys which is really awesome. I later saw that the band had already been hit up by noted blogs Come Pick Me Up , i Guess i'm Floating , and Bows + Arrows . The band is from Chicago, IL and their "shoegaze sound in a post-rock [...]

Band Of The Day: Somme

Feb 9, 2007, 9:03am the music slut
Band Of The Day: Somme Anyone who regularly reads The Music Slut knows that I'm a huge sucker for anything in the 'post-rock' genre. One point of note about this style of music is that almost all the better bands within the genre come from OUTSIDE the US (Explosions In The Sky is the exception). That is, until I came across Chicago-based, Somme, earlier this week. Somme call themselves the 'post-rock version of We Are Scientists' and I can understand why. The songs are instantly recognizable and just the perfect length (each track is in the 5 minute range). Their debut EP, [...]

The Consequence of Sounds

Feb 3, 2007, 10:19am linesthroughlines
tape - sand dunes
The merits and detractors of instrumental music have been spilled here before , but unmentioned since. If I had to guess I'd say maybe 5% of my music collection is instrumental, the majority of the 5% being full discs by Kaki King, Mogwai, Rachel's, Lymbyc System, and Godspeed...! and a small portion of single songs and EPs by various bands. That 5% definitely gets played more than 5% of the time due to its ability to sympathize, emphasize, and aurally express a series of personal emotions I might be oozing at any given time. The best tracks [...]

Somme I'm sticking to my guns with this band. Anyone who really knows me knows I'm a BIG sucker for shoegaze music. While I don't really have time to write a proper feature just yet, Somme is still worthy of a mention. Upon hearing the tracks, you'd be highly unlikely to discern that the band consists of a mere two members. The lush, vibrant instrumentation (don't wait around for vocals) is pretty killer.

Somme - Weight EP

Jan 31, 2007, 9:10pm Sound On The Sound
Instrumental bands fascinate me. After being in a band myself now for a little while, I am beginning to understand how much of a central element the voice is to the composition of so much of popular music. Those bands that are able to transcend that missing element (at least missing in comparison to other forms of American popular music) are the bands who interest me the most. Somme is one such band that after my first listen I was unusually intrigued. I've only encountered a few bands that are purely instrumental as well as engaging. I can't [...]

The Post Rock Block feat. Do Make Say Think, Somme, and Mabou

The Post Rock Block feat. Do Make Say Think, Somme, and Mabou In the past year we've had Rock Blocks, Pop Rock Blocks, Easy Rockin' Rock Blocks, and decidedly Un-Rock Blocks. Today, we enter a new chapter in the time honored tradition of the Rock Block with our first Post-Rock Block. From the land of polar bears, moose, and ice, and from the bloodlines of Broken Social Scene, come Do Make Say Think with a new album, You, You're A History In Rust, due out in the near future, and a Cleveland stop at The Grog Shop on their forthcoming tour.

Somme: "Massless" Forgive the dramatization, but I feel as though I now reside in a post-apocalyptic, post- Neon Bible world, where even what's left of the Sun pales in comparisson to the glowing frame and earmarked pages of The Arcade Fire's second release. As I scroll through the self-made "Bands To Blog" iTunes playlist looking for something to share, there's hardly anything that can free me from the hypnotic drone of "Neon Bible" (the song) or even the hype surrounding the damn thing.

More Music Monday, #5 More Music Mondays has returned! Somme is a guitar/drum instrumental duo out of Chicago that just recently recorded their debut EP, Weight . The EP, recorded in one day at legendary Electric Audio Studios, are five songs that follow in the great instrumental traditional of acts such as Godspeed and combines a somewhat wall-of-sound shoegaze sound with a ferocity that gives this band an extra something about it. The fact that this EP was recorded in only one [...]

Stories from the first war I'm pretty busy and get a TON of emails about the this new band and that, and I have a hard time replying to all. That being said, I got an email last week from the Chicago band Somme . I'd never heard of them prior, and didn't think much about it. Fast forward to yesterday when I get another email following up on my lack of response to the first one. It caught my attention so I checked out the tunes, and I think they are worth some attention.
