SOMETHING IS LIKE NOTHING WAS (LOW-SLINT STYLE)
POST-ROCK (EURO-ROCK)Likened to bands such as Low, Codeine and Slint, this 13-track album is largely made up of laid-back, shoegazing, partly song-based, moody, indie-fied, post-rock. Slow, lazy compositions unfold, with sleepy vocals, with the electric guitars almost as chilled-out, while equally gentle electric bass and drums, weave the most fragile yet solid web beneath the crystalline guitar leads, melodies and layers on top and all around the so-slowly travelling tracks. It’s almost an insomniac’s dream album were it not for the fact that it’s so engaging, with tracks that change in a kind of slow-motion fluid, enthralling without boredom setting in manner. If you just want something long and languid, there’s seventy-three minutes of it here, and it sure beats sipping on a tequila sunrise, although why not do that, too. Now where did I put that bottle…?
