The Echelon Effect ~ Field Recordings

David Walters is one of the few artists whose every release is reliable.  The Echelon Effect has a clearly identifiable sound, and has stuck to it consistently.  (The final installment of Seasons might be considered an exception, save for the fact that

dedleaves ~ dedleaves

Starting a post-rock band in 2012 seems as counter-intuitive as opening a new record store, but we’ve seen a resurgence in the latter, so hopefully we’ll see one in the former.  Baltimore’s dedleaves is brave to enter these waters, boasting a more

mouse on the keys ~ Machinic Phylum

Japan’s mouse on the keys possesses an instantly recognizable sound: hard piano playing accompanied by hard drumming, with slightly subtler bass accents (also played on the keyboards).  The band plays jazz for those who don’t usually like jazz, frequently laying an accessible

We Are the Wooden Houses ~ Halloween Haarp/Island of Death

Stephen Benson, half of Hills! Werewolves! Run!, is also half of We Are the Wooden Houses, but the two groups sound totally different from one another.  The former takes post-rock as its starting point, while the latter delves into psych, raga

cssc ~ Overgrown

Erik Rodriguez aka cssc describes himself as a kid with a laptop, a midi controller and FL Studio that began making music a little less than 4 years ago, and since people began noticing and enjoying it, he decided to continue.  Listening to

Sontag Shogun ~ Absent Warrior, Abandoned Battlefield

Whatever happened to (the) slowest runner (in all the world)?  Three of the band members can be found here under the name Sontag Shogun.  The quintet and trio released a split EP in the wake of We, Burning Giraffes, and the smaller

Evan Caminiti ~ Dreamless Sleep

It’s amazing what can happen to us in a year. Something we did twelve months ago can mean something entirely different or fail to resonate with us today. Such a gap in time is what allowed Evan Caminiti to take

Vopat ~ Turbide

Before Sujo there was Vopat, a post-rock endeavor from Ryan Huber that exuded hints of the monstrous drone project that was to come.  It’s been a while since the former beast reared its not-so-ugly head. Turbide is a celebration of that sound: rediscovered
