Comment: Andrew
Weathers is a musician from Littlefield, Texas, USA whose trio
embraces four persons in fact. In truth, I do not know how the trio
should be considered – should the lead figure be included or not?
Weathers plays guitars, an organ, a pianet; Aaron Oppenheim plays a
bass, Scott Siler plays the drums, and Tom Djll operates with a
trumpet, and electronic effects. On this 6-notch release they play
post-rock with an experimental angle where they pay attention to the
structure and sparkling timbres. At times the quartet may associate
with Tortoise but just a bit. Similarly to the legend from Chicago it
is a post-rock case yet they also do not follow the classic
crescendo-bursting buildups of the style. However, those
semi-crescendos make highly sense. It is very fine to partake in a
whole filled in with internal power and profound impulses coming
permanently to the surface. Because of that their intention to create
a cohesive, well integrated release does not water down at all. The
guitar used to repeat the main motive in an enchanting way by exuding
ennobling warmth at
Short Denim Demon Shirt. The guitar as the
main instrument on the album recedes at
Eastern Island Palm Dub
by admitting the lead to a suggestive, dreamy trumpet play. The
finishing track
Creosote Band (Trio) is a different case by
playing some sort of darker cinematic Americana with smouldering
eyes. That's great again. The beguiling post-rock release is a part
of the discography of a cult post-rock imprint, futurerecordings.
Obviously one of the best (post-rock) albums in 2018.
