█▓ This five track EP could, then, be a next step ▓█
█▓ towards one of those glorious crescendos of musical ▓█
█▓ success that the region has been hearing on all ▓█
█▓ stylistic fronts in the last twelve months. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ My first reaction is a bit curmudgeonly. I can hear ▓█
█▓ great chunks of the post-rock heroes of the recent ▓█
█▓ past. The sort of names that press forward are ▓█
█▓ TORTOISE, MOGWAI, SIGUR ROS AND EXPLOSIONS IN THE ▓█
█▓ SKY. LIFT TO EXPERIENCE even. But in all the spirals ▓█
█▓ of emotional rise and fall I donÆt think I can detect ▓█
█▓ as much of VESSELS as I would want to hear in first ▓█
█▓ recordings of a band who clearly aim to be ▓█
█▓ interesting and creative as well as commercially ▓█
█▓ viable. These sounds were current in 2000 or earlier, ▓█
█▓ and time is moving on. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ As to the songs themselves, "The Beast" has a classic ▓█
█▓ RADIOHEAD chord sequence with a circular kind of a ▓█
█▓ riff. Then it swaps into something like another intro ▓█
█▓ to a second song with some interesting drumming and ▓█
█▓ then a distinctly TORTOISE bit that turns into a bit ▓█
█▓ of MOGWAI. "Take It Outside" has a very SHELLAC via ▓█
█▓ THAT FUCKING TANK start. ItÆs a nice repetition thing ▓█
█▓ with some impressionistic vocals. It meanders a bit. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ "Armed To The Teeth" sets off on its journey with the ▓█
█▓ EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY guitar style and a keyboard ▓█
█▓ part. It rises and falls with an agreeably SIGUR ROS ▓█
█▓ vocal line added. It ends on a big MOGWAI freakout. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ "Set Fires" and "Look At That Cloud" continue the ▓█
█▓ episodic feel of the first three tracks, adding their ▓█
█▓ own good ideas and nice little touches as they go. At ▓█
█▓ no point did my breath catch on a sudden surprise or ▓█
█▓ shaft of sunlight. The sense of familiarity is very ▓█
█▓ strong. Looking at a cloud is a good metaphor. The ▓█
█▓ beauty is undeniable, the creation of such a thing is ▓█
█▓ a deep mystery. But shape, direction, transcendence, ▓█
█▓ a sense of purpose? for me, not quite yet. A bit like ▓█
█▓ the first EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY recordings in fact. ▓█
█▓ Interesting, but not as distinctive as this ▓█
█▓ well-developed field now demands of new entrants. ▓█
█▓ ▓█
█▓ I can certainly imagine the dramatic effect of this ▓█
█▓ music in a live context. The evidence of the ▓█
█▓ recording is that Tim Mitchell (Drums), Martin Teff ▓█
█▓ (Guitar, Bass and Synth),Tom Evans (Guitar, Vocals, ▓█
█▓ and miscellaneous other instruments) and Lee J. ▓█
█▓ Malcolm (Guitar, Vocals, Synth and Laptop) have huge ▓█
█▓ potential as a band. With an obsessive and focussed ▓█
█▓ single mind on the case the whole thing could explode ▓█
█▓ in a very exciting way. - ▓█
