Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles – Brick City Ghosts (2011)



/Minimal, Chamber rock, Post-rock, Experimental rock, Crossover, Avant-rock, Epic, Modern classical/


Comment: Minimally bleak/ or chamber-drenched/electro-acoustic/treated electronic-relied soundscapes are variegated with (or without) lone piano-driven modern classical tunes which at times are pulled off into potently brooding rock snippets. Indeed, as so plain to the kind of classically channelized post-rock, it shows up its inclination and readiness for getting drift between silentfully and powerfully chiming pieces, having some fluctuant layers into epic progressions. Thereby it makes out as a juncture area compiled of the oeuvres of Godspeed You! Black Emperor (those pitched violins at times!), and Bosques de mi Mente, for instance. The band which comes from New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA, has dedicated this album to all of the ghosts they left behind. Beautiful.
