Beirut have a lot to answer for and heres more - its an album by Implosion Quintet called 'The Future Sound of Yesterday' and is the project of one James R Baker. So it takes...um....'world' influences and marries them to a kind of post Radiohead post apocalyptic post rock snarl and the shifting prog rock of King Crimson. Lots of Eastern European/balkan influences. Very progressive. Being a white bread and Britney man myself I'm a bit out of my depth in its ever changing twirls but fans of the afore mentioned Beirut, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Matt Elliott, Barry Adamson, Eastern European cinema should find plenty to wrap their ears around."a vital work that's part Barry Adamson, part 'In Rainbows' & the part of your mind that makes you commit evil acts" - Source
"on beats-based soundbeds, Baker lays down compositions of a bewildering & beguilingly hybrid nature" - Uncut
"...sounds as if it should accompany the trials & tribulations of a Balkan cowboy trapped in a space capsule with an opera singing Nosferatu" - Music Omh
Implosion Quintet is singular fivesome James Baker, a British musician now residing in Norway. Following a scattering of tracks on the Cookshop label, we're proud to present his highly ambitious & accomplished debut album, 'The Future Sound Of Yesterday'. Driven by a short attention span & love of prog, proto-metal, jazz, electronica, klezmer, tango & everything in between, IQ takes us on a bizarre journey through said styles infused with a cinematic quality lending it the feel of a soundtrack to some long forgotten cult eastern European flick. This is undoubtedly one of the most dizzyingly unique records to come round in quite some time...
