Years Of Rice & Salt From: London, United Kingdom After last night's detour to the musical world of the Russian Federation I'm back on familiar territory tonight with Years Of Rice And Salt a five piece post rock, post folk, post everything band from dear old blighty. YORAS, presumably named after the Kim Stanley Robinson book, serve up beautiful, meditative, contemplative instrumentals occasionally supplemented by hypnotic vocals and eerie whispering. It's haunting, dark and melancholic and I love it. [...]
Post-Rock: the strange, febrile cousin of Rock 'n' Roll. I've pondered on its relevance before without really coming to a conclusion. Initially, I put this indecision down to sheer flightiness, but have now realised that this non-committal wandering is actually quite post-rock in itself. You see, the genre is wrapped in a quandary fully formed by its very existence. Post rock takes the guitar/drums/bass template of every rock band and stretches it into a wider, distressed, more distorted being. And this is both its downfall and its saving grace. Here's the one accusation [...]
Labels that use bandcamp for distribution are automatically a winner in our eyes and deserve more attention. California's Future Recordings is one of those labels, which focus on dreamy post-rock, instrumental soundscapes a la Sylvian Chaveau & Johann Johannson & ambient/drone. Found them out while checking We All Inherit the Moon on myspace and bandcamp offered me an easy way to check all of the labels output. These lovely fellas sell their albums for 5$, tracks for $1 (both 320K) but if you're broke and you want to listen to it, you can download 128K [...]

Bleeding Edge: Years of Rice and Salt
Music can be a stimulant or a sedative. I think I could have a root canal with nothing more than Years of Rice and Salt's first full-length release Nothing of Cities in place of sedation. Generally, the post-rock genre is known for a rolling rise and swell of music. Chords rise up in a primitive way that gives over to full, rich sound that some people compare back to 'classical' music; while others just call it self-indulgent pretentiousness. With their first full length release, Years of Rice and Salt fall somewhere between the [...]
