- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
San Francisco Weekly said WinterÆs Fall was something like ôa mix between
Cormac McCarthy and Ray Bradburyö, or for the less well read, Western meets
Science Fiction. Odd, we know, but At All Angles makes you wonder if the two
genres were always meant to collide. Other's have termed it Post-Americana,
or Math-rock meets Twang. Their new record finds the band sweeping the
curtain aside to reveal a well developed marriage of organic and electronic
soundscapes.
To complete what was conceived as a start-to-finish ôalbum arcö the band
meticulously prepared and mapped out the recordingÆs entire scope.
Transitions, multi-song suites, tempos, and keys were planned out to the
letter. At All Angles truly finds front man Peter Winter Stanley leading his
band of multi-instrumentalists into new territories. Brothers Keith and Pete
Gidlund, Hans Ashlock, and Jody Clarke bring these songs to life.
There is the thematic linking in the three instrumental songs (beginning,
middle, and end) which I'm told imagine a futuristic ôsurveyorö who discovers
and charts new landscapes. Though the real story is not in narratives or
lyrics but in the tones and textures that come from the electronics, steel
guitar, and math rock-esque time signatures that weave themselves through the
album. All this set underneath StanleyÆs intimate literary prose and unique
vocal delivery. The Berkley, CA band's 2007 (Muddy & White), and 2008
(Self-titled) releases brought them critical attention, but it's the new
record you'll fall in love with. Everyone can do the math and see this
record was 3 years in the making, and we are exceptionally proud to be
releasing it this Feb. ! Look for them on the road in the new
