Rating: happy This record left our Maggie feeling happy.

Now post rock Italians Port-Royal with their new album Afraid to Dance (which is how I feel most of the time until "Its raining men" hits the turntables.. I jest of course).The album sounds pretty ethereal spacey rock/pop/electronica which takes you on a echoy journey through a valley of green trees and bright flowers. At times it has moments like Sigur Ros without the singing. Yellow 6 says Phil. Epic sounding expanse music... World cup winners and now this... they were lucky to beat Australia though. Its was never a penalty but if Lucus Neil leaves his leg in the last minute of extra time you cant blame the fellow for diving.

What the label says:

The second album from the band who injected new life into the post-rock
scene with their breathtaking debut "Flares" in 2005.
For those unfamiliar with their debut, port-royal are anything but just
another generic epic instrumental outfit; utilising subtle
electronics and almost classical arrangements, they create lengthy,
expansive, melancholic compositions that often have movements within the
individual tracks, constantly evolving and shifting in tempo.
Though "Afraid To Dance" follows the formula that made "Flares" such a
success, it also displays sufficient progression to be more than just
"Flares pt2"; though the same components are evident, the emphasis has
shifted towards the electronic beats and pure rhythm that underpin their
sound, bringing them to the forefront while the hypnotic spacerock guitars
and synth gently weave melodies beneath.
