On their third full length, Rest, Brooklyn based Gregor Samsa expands on their affinity for minimal, classical instrumentation mixed with manipulated sound and male/female vocals. This album demonstrates a more focused and refined sound, with an emphasis on piano and the integration of new instrumentation such as the clarinet, vibraphone and celeste.

Amazing record from this US ensemble. With subtle and beautifully crafted songs, this album at times brings both Bleeding Heart Narrative and Espers to mind.One of the surprises of 2008
