Post-Rock Road Trip: Day Four

Day Four of our road trip takes us across the Channel to France, where the sounds of Oiseaux-Tempête, Fall of Messiah, Red Forest and Totorro await.  These acts may not sound French, but they don’t sound like their Canadian counterparts either.  All four share

Fennesz ~ Bécs

In 2001 Mego released Endless Summer, a shimmering wave of digital guitar manipulations that ranks among the best – and “poppiest”- of Fennesz’s now extensive catalog. It wasn’t just the album that solidified Fennesz among the upper echelon of electronic
