Album Reviews

How bad can a band be when they name themselves after one of the best movies ever made in the 80s? Not that bad apparently. On their debut album “In A Forest Without Trees” these Blackpool dudes aren’t looking for any lost treasures or pirate ships, but they might very well have written the soundtrack to the movie.

While their instrumental post-rock would’ve been original if bands like Mogwai or Explosions In The Sky hadn’t been around, they are great at playing with dynamics as can be best heard on “Don’t Fight The Fire, Fuck The Arsonist” or “Get All Your Ducks In A Row”. Things tend to sound a little alike towards the end of the album but as far as debut albums go, these guys have done a solid job on “In A Forest Without Trees”.
