these dudes are broken up :( and in case anyone is wondering, track 4 isn't
skipping at the beginning, it's whatever synth setting or effect used in the
making of that track, cause it's like that on the cd and EAC ripped it 100%
quality.

The four serious young men of Volta Do Mar seem to think that post-rock needs a
healthy dose of prog-rock drama and technique; fortunately, they have the chops
and creativity to make a potentially disastrous approach sound wonderful. While
many toiling in Tortoise's wake have misguidedly emulated the group's most
soporific traits, Volta Do Mar keep listeners on the edge of their seats with
bracingly abrupt dynamics and unconventional melodies that suggest more than a
few King Crimson and Don Caballero LPs in the band members' collections. These
dudes also wisely realize that singing is best left to the few gifted souls who
can genuinely do it properly.
