Playing catchup with a mini-review of an album from this past year that in
spots (and thus the cross post) is both ambient and idm in my book... (besides
them being a "rock band")...
The Swirlies: Strictly East Coast Sneaky Flute Music-
This is the "usual" scrumptuous Swirlies shoe gaze guitar meets lofi
electronics, my bloody valentine-esque, sonic youth-ish, sporting the toungue
in cheek but with serious faces look, indie post rock stuff- BUT -with added
input from DJ Spooky and DJ Soulslinger (and others). Yes kids- the swirlies
have now added jungle to their repertoire, along with some very nice droney
guitar with throbbing trancy rhythm lo fi electronic stuff. sneaky flute
music indeed :)
sorry but thats about as good as my reviews get...
(why there are so few of them ;)
