"this post-rock four-piece put on a stirring, striking show. They begin with one long, droning note which then slowly and steadily transforms into the swaying prelude for their opening song, one which builds steadily into a climactic swell of noise and feedback – a brain washed away with endorphins unable to function – that’s as controlled as it is chaotic, as fragile as it is feverish. Unsurprisingly, this is what happens in each of the rest of the songs that follow – that is, after all, what post-rock is all about – but there are enough subtleties and variations to mark these guys out from a genre over-saturated with homogonous, uninteresting members. Though more Explosions In The Sky than Sigur Rós, more visceral corporeality than ethereal spirituality, the cold front of their country is still captured vividly; the long, dark nights frozen as if in ice by the careening guitars in this ironically sweltering room."
