Fall of Messiah ~ Empty Colors
It’s been two years since we reviewed How to See Beyond Fields, a solid post-rock/post-metal release from Lille, France’s Fall of Messiah. That album contained long songs and huge riffs; the new EP contains shorter songs, but the riffs remain intact. By

Kokomo ~ Monochrome Noise Love
The longer the history of post-rock, the harder it is for artists to impress, a fact brought home by Jack Chuter’s recent Storm Static Sleep. First, there’s an increasing tendency for bands to disassociate themselves from the genre; second, there’s an

The Big Ship ~ Searchlight Casting
Two and a half years have passed since our review of A Circle Is Forever, and Chicago / Philadelphia duo The Big Ship have taken the ensuing time to hone their craft ~ whenever they’re home from school, they get together and jam,

Metzengerstein ~ Alchemy to Our Days
The connection between the psychedelic and the mystical is at this point traditional, since in pop music, at least, it has been explored time and again since the 1960s in many different ways, leading through very distinct sounds, from the

Post-rock is a tricky genre. As a life-long fan, I tend to regard almost all post-rock as good. But each year, only a handful of post-rock albums rise above the remainder, demanding repeat plays. In the Depths of Time, In
