[Old but important] Time Columns Sunriseinthesea EP (Bandcamp)
Time Column`s debut, the 5-track Sunriseinthesea EP (released on the 25th December of 2009 promptly after the ensemble`s first US-based tour had finished off) has already been looping at the non-stop regime for some hours in my headphones, and indeed, as for the whole set the better sorts of scents are brought forth after every following listen time. Two guys - Kenny Eaton and Jordan Miller - coming from Baltimore, Maryland, USA, exploiting guitars, keyboards, drums, and effect-sustained devices (moreover, Gibson Echoplex can be suggested as their third member) to conjure a mix of fusion/jazz rock, post-rock, math-rock, and classically layered progressive rock sound. No doubt, their interplay is an instrumental rock-relied synergic reflection, which does search for diverse chord compounds and complex, cadence-based realms, sometimes being "stuck" in restraint runs and even introspective hoverings, the another time, yet, blown up into the acceleration of synth-infused guitar grimaces, acquiring lots of panoramic flashlights to be brightened up and broadened into near-epic glider trips. Indeed, it is a solid example of intelligent rock music which can be enjoyed at the duo`s concert tour coming soon at the beginning of the January of 2011.
