How can I forget about one band I’ve thought of reviewing in the first place. This is 66e, who I’ve met via mp3hugger’s blog. They’re a post-rock band from Dublin (like God is an Astronaut) what is it with Ireland about postrock I dunno. This is not devoid of vocals like GIAA, it’s pretty well done, in fact it’s been some time since I’ve been affected with postrock this much. Ok I admit, it’s only been a few months since I felt in love with Microfilm. Here’s some stuff to check out

With the lack of any nice electronica to post, and general return to more guitar music for me for the last week, I think I would post some nice rock music..

I was going to mention Trail of Dead’s Worlds Apart which is a great song, but Think Tank has got it covered, I thought about posting Animal Collective’s Grass but that’s covered by The Camera as Pen as well.. Some Saxon Shore? Well more than 3 songs have been posted by mp3blogs, so a 4th one would be too much (respect the artists!)..

That’s why I turn back to the beginning of the year, to a great album gone unmentioned by mp3blogs . That’s God is an Astronaut’s All Is Violent, All Is Bright album.. These 3 blokes from Dublin, (Mogwai anyone?) rocked my ears for so long, it would be a shame if I passed this song. (God it rhymes.. )

So here’s a great atmospheric instrumental track for you, very melodic and melancholic..

I’ve got a few more tracks lined up here and I’m digging the crates for more, so stay tuned!
