What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Brian feeling happy.

Belgian label Zeal have slung us a box in the donkey post brimming with some lovely back catalogue 7"s ranging from post-rock titans to cult electronica beauties, but also 3 new releases (we're reviewing one each in a frenzy of diplomatic awareness) I've got this CD by TOMAN called 'Perhaps we Should have smoked the Salmon First', a hearty title I should say! It's the kind of soulful post rock with occasional vocals that I really like, with echoes of The Album Leaf, Sigur Ros, the airy, melodic end of the Dischord roster & bands like Dismemberment Plan & Rodan. Clean, punchy drums, drifting atmospherics & samples, soul stirring brass, nice keyboard flourishes & that fresh, progressive Chicago sound (early Tortoise etc) that sparkles still today. I've got to say there's strong elements of Hood & Sierpinski in some of the arrangements here. Or perhaps Explosions in the Sky without some of the tension & bombast. Really sweet accomplished music

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
