FUCKING FINALLY!! NEW TOE YESSSSSSSSSSS
After 4 years from their debut LP '...A Vague Anxiety' in 2005, Toe has finally
come out with a new full album release, and it definitely does not disappoint.
They've ventured into new sonic territory, incorporating vocals and a
surprisingly significant amount of electronic sounds into their arrangements.
For Long Tomorrow is an ambitious release for toe, but thankfully it still
retains the same wonderful organic sound the band is personified by; lush
soundscapes laid down by the guitars and bass, solid song structures, and of
course Takashi's amazing percussive voicings from behind his kit.
This new release from the Japanese post-math-rock group Toe is absolutely
awesome. This time there are lyrics and singing in some songs, (which they have
managed to fit in very well) like after image (which is mind blowingly chill and
great) and goodbye. The overall atmosphere of this album is very chilled out.
It's amazing how these guys can make such complex music at the same time being
soothing and chill. Toe used a lot more texture and different instruments in
this release compared to the previous recordings. The result is great: the same
toe ingeniousness with clean guitar emotional jamming, but including rhodes, a
lot more acoustic guitar, some marimba/xylophone, voice, and other cool layers
of interesting instruments and sound effects.
If you enjoy post rock and not-so-frantic math rock, you will most likely enjoy
this quite a bit like i did. This is one of this year's best releases. Don't you
dare miss it.
