"Cerberus Shoal"
.....began recording in early '95, changing young men
becoming comfortable with the idea of "out of home", an
ideal for creation is established, the black ball rule is
instated, big work ethic, project studio called "Demo Dans'"
(4th St. Studio), this was all the very first music, the music
the first tour revolved around, we would visit the music and
each other daily whether desired or not, defining the new
naturality, will this last? an ideal for a new living is
created...

Like summer re-runs, this offering from Boston-based post-
rockers Cerberus Shoal isn't exactly new, but unless you're
one of the thousand people who snagged a copy of their self-
titled debut 12", Cerberus Shoal will be new to you. Written
and recorded under particularly bleak and dreary conditions --
a cruel New England winter -- the Shoal's first recording
effort is a harsher, more elusive and elliptical sound than
the space-rocky excursions they've taken of late. The basic
bass, drums and double-guitar attack doesn't limit the young
band's expansive aspirations, though, as epic monsterworks
like "Daddy as Seen From Bar Harbor" and the hidden track's
20-minute psych-indie workout careen through slow, pensive
passages, caterwauling waves of noise and all points in
between. The secret to success in this line of work is
mastering the loud/soft and slow/fast dynamics, something that
was evident even at this early stage in the band's career:
"Change" and the opening "Rain" move as slowly as glaciers,
and "Breakaway Cable Terminal" moves from shimmery to manic
and back with heart-stopping (not to mention gut-tossing)
force. Ten years on, it still sounds fresh and gripping.
