| 3.5 great | FlawedPerfection EMERITUS | December 11th 06 |
I heard about this band through the grapevine as an extremely original and creative post-rock band. I got Indian Ink and found them to be a different band than I expected. They played typical of the genre, with simple guitar riffs, atmospheric keyboard and a sense of building throughout to a climax. They use a woman's voice to speak monologues over their music, which creates an eerie effect at some times, especially in the song Now I Am Lifting. She whispers her words over an ambient background, almost playing out of a horror movie. Overall, I found the band very talented. They played just about every typical post-rock sound on the album, ranging from an ambient soother to an epic riff-heavy builder, but they pull it off under 5 minutes per song. They are extremely accessible and a good introduction to many different sounds in the genre.

The vocals. I mean the range of electro-soundscapery, to slint-esque minimalism is enough to warrant a 4.5, but I swear the vocals are the most passionate and desperate vox I've heard in a long time, and the way they are abstractly phrased over bleak, yet blossoming instrumentals is simply incredible. Easily will become a classic.
