Blueneck
The Fallen Host
Blueneck write the soundtrack to the greatest movie you've never seen. Ten years into their career, Attwood and his band have evolved a style of music that has been labelled postrock by some observers but which offers much more than that simple definition. With the band's new album, The Fallen Host, Blueneck take the listener deep into an inner zone of immense beauty and power. The first single "Lilitu", is the perfect gateway drug to the Blueneck experience, enticing anyone with an ear for melody inward with its mesmeric beats and strings. Described by Attwood as "one of the more immediate tracks on the album", the song pulls the listener inside a world constructed of fragile emotion and world-shaking rhythms. Unbelievably, this widescreen music comes from just four musicians: you'd expect a full orchestra and a platoon of session players to be behind sounds of such captivating richness. CD comes in a nice digipack. For fans of: SIGUR ROS, MOGWAI, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY & MUM.
