This album is amazing. Christopher Tignor leads his band of merry Brooklynites through their second full-length, which is by all accounts a revelation. Groups like Rachels', Clogs, and Sunwrae deliver a neo-classicism colored by rock instruments, but none of these bands have released the DMT required to make such a divine integration like that of Slow Six. The band's compositions have a brilliant levity, jaunting spritely in odd time signatures, all the while sounding completely natural and loose. Spot-on technical drumming and intelligent guitar lines do pirouettes amidst Tignor's live electronic interpretations, while the fender rhodes and violin add dynamic lyrical elements. This stuff is leagues ahead of most of your garden variety post rock. If The Mercury Program are collegiate, Slow Six are chthonian.I will post my TSB review of this after it's published (and written).
