As a This Will Destroy You fanboy, this was an essential release for me to check out. They don't have much material, so anything new is always welcomed. That warm, post-rocky goodness is impossible to resist. This split EP proved to be a bit of an anomaly, though. Not being all that familiar with Lymbyc Systym , I had a hard time figuring out who was playing which songs. None of them sounded like the This Will Destroy You I knew. The album packaging didn't make it very clear who [...]

From Western Vinyl , the label that will soon bring us Here We Go Magic's debut, comes Balmorhea (pronounced bal-mor-ay ). Fans of Bell Orchestre or This Will Destroy You will surely enjoy what this six-piece Austin, Texas band has to offer. They will be performing live later this year at the WV showcase at South By Southwest, alongwith Here We Go Magic, J. Tillman, Callers, and Mom. The song below won me over upon its first play-through, in what sounds like something straight out of a movie. It has just the right balance of downtime and climactic [...]

Big ups to Magic Bullet Records for the recent availability of Field Studies on vinyl.

The Godspeed You! Black Emperor School of Thought Like Explosions in the Sky, GY!BE has amassed a massive following. So much so that they were even name-dropped in the recent film Pineapple Express. Unfortunately though, any time someone hears a long instrumental song with a string section these days, they immediately pose the question “Is that [...]

Post-Rock is Cold Dead Genre? (2004-???) Albums like F#A#(infinity) in 1998 by GY!BE, Young Team in 1997 by Mogwai, and The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place in 2003 by Explosions in the Sky have become the blueprints that many fledgling bands have used to sculpt their own sound. The fact that modern post-rock bands [...]

Love More Than Music ( ) Rachael Pollard - A Good Thing Denverite Rachael Pollard has been making music for a long time. She's one of the local acts that, when you talk about her to other people, those people look at you and say things like "of course you like Rachael Pollard, she's amazing." Those people saying that aren't even the snobs. Her voice is timid and adorable, though not spot on, which, in my mind, doesn't matter at all, because we have to many "good," spot on [...]

I know I'm not alone when I say, I love good film. I just love it so much. However, over the past few years, I can't say I have been "affected" by a film. Do you follow me? Something that hits close to home and makes you sit through the credits because you feel as if you need to thank every single person listed. The last movie to do that for me was Dancer in the Dark . Some may roll their eyes and think that it's just because I'm a Bjork -nut. But the protagonist was someone [...]
