Oiseaux-Tempête ~ Ütopiya?

Certain albums lend themselves to certain natural environments: home listening, club, car ride, airline trip.  Ütopiya? is the perfect album for a stroll through an urban environment.  I realized this last week while walking in Manhattan with my iPod.  Unlike

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

ACL 2013: Top Ten Rock, Post-Rock, Folk & Jazz

The last of our genre lists is filled with WOW moments: big crescendos, bold moves, instinctive collaborations, explosions of brass.  This is music for car stereos and open windows, music to lift the sullen heart and to make it race.

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ S/T

Oiseaux-Tempête‘s self-titled debut may be a political album advertised as a stoner album, but to the home listener, it’s simply a set that rocks.  It’s probably best not to muddle pot and politics, as the former is not the best
