So Numb

"Post Metal". There's your latest moniker, genre for you: You know how every "post rock" song kinda starts quiet then builds all techie like with fancy drumming and intense yet is "pretty" with chiming guitars taking forefront in end? Well drop in louder elements, heavier mind you, glaze it with a dose of shoegaze and you got post metal near as I can tell. Excellent musicianship, nay art school feel. Great stuff. Check it out. Fans of Do Make Say Think, Trans Am, Ourt Cloud, Bowery Electric take note. All instrumental band from Brooklyn.
