Free Music Notes for Station

Free Music Review: Excellent Sophomore Release
Hit: 5 Stars

Russian Circles' second album is perhaps even better than critically acclaimed Enter (critically acclaimed in an underground sort of way). These guys are excellent musicians and their arrangments are very interesting and unique. If you are looking to get a taste of it, check out their myspace page and listen to Verses (available on their myspace page at this time - 7/2/2008). This song gives you a taste of what they do - slow build up and almost classical melodies leading up to some heavy riffs in the end. I know that there are other bands out there that create music that blands classical and heavy, but seeing these guys live and what they are able to do with just three instruments made me appreciate their music even more.

If you're new to the genre of post-metal /post-rock instrumental bands, if you are into Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Isis or Radiohead, this music may appeal to you.

Also, Amazon's description states that they have shared stage with Daughters. Don't let that confuse you - I find no overlap between the two bands.

Station Poster

Metal trimmings, minimal jazz primers, and cryptic riffs that hit out of nowhere with the pummeling impact of a comet. Their music weaves up an intense and cinematic albeit soothing clobbering that cannot be pigeonholed. Their lumbering layers of chiseled post rock and feathery psychedelic infusions have both revved and enticed listeners into mental orgasms the world over. They've shared stages with Tool, Dalek, Daughters, and Pelican. Catch them on tour beginning in late May.
Russian Circles is a three piece instrumental rock/metal band from Chicago. Similar to fellow Chicago residents Pelican, Russian Circles play epic, sprawling music which runs the gamut of heavy discordant metal, to soft delicate passages. They are known for their energetic live shows, which include tours with Minus the Bear, Chin Up Chin Up, Mono, and Pelican as well as an appearance at the 2006 SXSW. They were also the opening band for Tool while playing in the United Kingdom for their 2007 tour.
