by "epic" I mean like the fist-pumping, determined, slightly melancholic,
festival sized emotion that I hear in stuff like Nils frahm, Clark, Max
Cooper and a lot of the anthemic indie rock the kids like these days like
Arcade Fire or something. kind of post-rock derived although it has reached
car commercial popularity.
turns me off of a lot of current music that could be described as
melodic. not Second Woman. they are on the right side of history.
