Ranges ~ Sin

What’s in the box?  Not, as one might reasonably expect from the concept, Gwyneth Paltrow’s head. Instead, a lucky 77 will receive 7 7″ records and 37 will also receive 7 pieces of ephemera: a shot glass, cigar, matches, poker

Goodbye, Kings ~ Transatlantic // Transiberian

Milan’s ten-strong post-rock collective Goodbye, Kings has just produced its finest document yet, a gorgeous two-track, 45-minute album that takes listeners on a literal journey; or in this case, two. Transatlantic // Transiberian is travel music in the finest sense of

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving ~ Oscillating Forest

The album begins with a single, soft crunch in the woods, followed by a second of silence and a plunge into “Sudden Peril.”  The listener is already under assault: no time to breathe, only to run, and to try to

SEIMS ~ FOUR

It should be obvious that FOUR is SEIMS‘ fourth album, but it’s not that simple.  SEIMS – originally a solo project – made a turn toward its current direction with the release of 3 and 3.1 a year and a half apart, eventually merged as 3 +

ACL 2019 ~ Top Ten Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz

2019 was the best year for post-rock in recent memory. We knew it early; by spring we were well on our way to a top ten.  The dominance of post-rock on this year’s list is a sign of strength which

We Lost The Sea ~ Triumph & Disaster

The world is ending.  We all know it.  While writing this review, I learned that the American president had just allowed corporations to pollute water again.  After all, who needs clean water?  Who needs animals (save for those that taste

Pillars ~ Cavum

Can a post-rock band be both massive AND melodic? Absolutely.  This is the arena of Indianapolis (Indiana) quartet Pillars, who live so close to October’s POST! festival that they can sleep in their own beds. “Dissolution” was the album’s lead single,

ACL 2018 ~ Top Ten Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz

2018 started off slowly for post-rock, but picked up steam in the closing months.  Many of our favorite acts were quiet this year, leaving the door open for others to be noticed.  One band even made a triumphant return after
