Identified - I

Label: self released
Year: 2007

Lots of instrumental music lately, which is weird since I don't often listen to music sans vocals (the simpleton in me), but here we are again. This time a band from Boston who have taken some of the mathiness (not a word, but should be) of Don Cabellero, some of the swelling epicness (also not a word, but also should be) of Kinski, some of the subtleties of Explosions In The Sky, and  mixed them into eight songs that easily can play as one long composition. There are moments of spaced out openness, and moments of dense, highly charged driving riffs, which ebb and flow together as good instrumental music of this ilk should.
Quality.
