All instrumental guitar based songs (is this "post rock"? it has a tortoise/chicago feel to it, though its from Brooklyn). Cleanly played instruments, vibes, complex rhythmic drums, upright bass, cello, piano, etc, all very cerebral, impressario w/o pretentiousness. All songs have multiple parts/changes, mid/slow tempo rhythms. Almost no straight 4/4 anywhere. Surprisingly not boring. check out #4, 5, 6.
1) All guitars, bass, drums
2) accordian in the mix. is that a banjo i hear? folkier feel
3) slow waltz feel
4) pretty w/violin, no drums, quiet feel
5) familiar feel to this, lots of rests and breaks, bridges, all guit, bass, drums
6) slower guitar/bass duet, until the last minute where a full band comes in. masterful.
7) 11 minutes of more of the same complex stuff, multiple rhythms. Launches into almost straight 4/4 pretty parts.
