Tack Till is some guy from Friendly Fires and the main guy from Wax Stag. If all of that didn't seem like the chap is incredibly busy enough here he is under his Tack Till guise on the Years Without Art label. It's a nice little ditty this one... I guess it's instrumental tinkly post rock if I'm to undertake the task of pigeonholing. It reminds me a bit of The Wedding Song by Aerial M. As far as this sort of thing goes it's pretty damned good. Will appeal to folks who like State River Widening and all of that shananigans. The 'Would That It Were EP' is 7" only!Side project of Rob Lee, bass player from Friendly Fires and main man from Wax Stag. With musical day jobs as playing bass for indie-disco upstarts Friendly Fires, and making bendy electronica as Wax Stag, 'Tack Till' is the place where busy musician Rob Lee goes to channel his more contemplative side. This debut three tracker is a warm, mainly instrumental EP focused around acoustic guitars and understated, elegiac moods. 'Would That it Were' has a mood of gentle, lilting euphoria with hints of English psyche folk 'otherness', with repeated motifs and drifting melodies evoking hazy memories and clouded emotions. A beguiling debut instalment from another promising album project from Rob Lee, a man for all seasons. Tracklisting: 1) Would That It Were, 2) Kart Down Hill, 3) Leap Year ………..
