I can’t really think of a more aptly named band. Their music gives off the warm vibes of lying in that free-moving piece of furniture, staring blankly up into space. Clouds move by at a snail’s pace. And the flow from song to song is great.
They bring up images of a mix between Stars of the Lid and Explosions in the Sky, but with their own personality. Most of their work directly references the quieter parts of Explosions in the Sky without the crescendos, deftly avoiding that part of post-rock. Instead the songs tend to drift away. Occasionally they even hark back to Stars of the Lid type classical arrangements, though those moments are relatively few.
Basically, this album is better taken in a few doses. For some people a 70 plus minute album of mostly soothing sounds might be a bit much. This is an album which rewards patience. And I’m sorry I missed them when they opened for Stars of the Lid at Le Poisson Rouge. From what I heard, that was a great concert.
