You know those albums you hear for the first time, and after it's over you can't even speak? Then you have it on repeat for a week afterward? Two albums that did that to me include Sigur Ros's Agaetis Byrjun and The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place by Explosions In The Sky for example. The Ascent of Everest's From This Vantage is one of those albums; it completely blew me away. The moment "Return to Us" (track 2) crushed me with it's powerful beauty, I [...]

Formed in Nashville TN in the spring of 2005, [...]
The Ascent Of Everest, hailing from Nashville (hey, not too far from Louisville), are coming up to play this year's Forecastle. They will come to Louisville equipped with their cellos, violins, pianos, guitars, basses, drums, and voices. All those combined make for quite an arrangement of sounds. You might notice an ambient feel at first, but they may soon kick you in the teeth with a controlled flurry of sounds, while still maintaining a melodic tone. To get a feel for them, check out the media player on their very well-desinged website at http://www.ascentofeverest.com / Here is a taste of [...]
Crippled Black Phoenix / Ascent of Everest / Brainbow Ravari Room Saturday, April 4 $10 Six years ago, almost to the day, Chris Wood pulls off a major coup, booking Aereogramme at The Factory. Anybody remember that? It was an amazing show and the only time that the great Scottish band Aereogramme ever played in Columbus. Chris now book shows at the Ravari Room and has once again delivered a fantastic early April present to me (and the city of Columbus) - Crippled Black [...]
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 [...]
The Shadow Project - Voices The Ascent of Everest - Threnody for the Victims of November Second Seeded Skies - Kin The Samuel Jackson Five - Hey now, who really cares
Nashville's The Ascent of Everest were like a hidden gem until the re-release of their debut, How Lonely Sits the City under Shelsmusic. While using elements obvious of post-rock fundamentals, the album still manages to be intriguing and engaging. Dark in demeanor with influences of metal and classical, How Lonely Sits the City pulls you in, messes with your emotions, and boots you out without your consent. And yes, surely there are skeptics out there who don't believe that an album that uses the same regimen as the previous from that whatchumacallit [...]
Thursday feels like the real first day of the festival, which is no surprise really, considering the fact that there are fifteen different showcases for you to choose from, or hop in between. Yes, FIFTEEN. It's enough to make your head spin, which is one of the main reasons I decided to do these showcase-by-showcase preview posts in the first place. This is going to be a night of tough decisions no matter what your tastes in music veer towards - you've got several different brands of rock and singer-songwriter stuff to choose from. [...]
"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture." That quote itself could have been the perfect review for The Ascent Of Everest's debut How Lonely Sits The City . Now, I admit to being a bit of a lazy person, but even I'm not that lazy... So here goes: Post-rock has never really been my "thing". Perhaps it's my short attention span doing battle with the often marathon-length tracks, or maybe it's my partiality to things like, say, lyrics. Upon receiving HLSTC , I was admittedly daunted by the album's scant five tracks, ranging in length [...]

The Lost Children net label focuses on emerging post-rock bands. Together with The Silent Ballet, a wiki/ezine with a decided preference for noisy post-rock sounds, Lost Children has released two compilation disks so far. Some samples from Volume 1: MT: Add Obvious Errors Up-c Down-c: Simple Reminder (Anger Is Not A Motive) Some cool surprises on Volume 2 -- but I won't spoil the plot
