The fans have spoken, and they love At the Drive-In, as do I. Post-Hardcore went down a big, big hill once this band broke up.

Ghastly City Sleep – Self Titled

Jeff Baertsch — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:21:14 +0000

Ghastly City Sleep combine the finest elements of shoegazer and ambiance along with an acute penchant for melody to create an absolutely stunning array of material. While two pieces nearly reach the six-minute mark and the other two eclipse nine, the whole offering flows with a smooth liquidity, creating one solidified, captivating body of work that easily becomes one of the most exciting and groundbreaking releases we’ve been a part of to date.

Fossil – Insônia

Jeff Baertsch — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:09:29 +0000

Fóssil was created in 2004 in the city of Fortaleza, Ceara Estate, Brazil. Talks and experience and constant music dialog took such a path that the group developed it’s songs with a different structure and musical intent.

Sound vibes and landscapes are created through experiments with sound effects and exploration of surroundings and dynamics and free improvise. On it’s compositions, the band looks for references at soundtracks, Brazilian music and most several variations of contemporary music.

In 2008 the group reaches it’s summit with the newest work calls: Insônia – La movimentacion musicale intermezzo minimal, that set their name on the music scene with constant activity on the music scenario.

Textures and harmonic progressions and vibes give some room to the listener to realize the feature Fossil: musical density within few notes.

Jeff Baertsch — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:07:09 +0000

Having released their debut LP ‘Blinker:Farben’ way-back-when in 2002, Fonoda made an immediate impact through a sound which smelted influences such as Slint, Mogwai and Low into a crucible of sound that was both pithily melancholic yet sunny-side up optimistic. Pairing down their line-up from a quad to trio, Florian Doelzer (drums), Matthias Neuefeind (guitar) and Christian Unertl (bass) reconvened in 2006 to record the appropriately named ‘Eventually’.
