Crescent: "Little Waves" (Fat Cat) Not so much heartbreaking as heart aching, Crescent's peculiar brand of English miserablism/melancholia doesn't really do anything for my head or my heart. They're like the dull ache I feel after my stride to work. The vocals are kinda like a young Tom Waits. The music is made up of drums bass, guitars, horns, sampled voices, environmental sounds and banjos. If dark moods, drunken slurring and a serious approach to wordsmithery is your thing...the consensus was that it sounded a bit dull and possibly fits a particular moment for digesting.

What their label says...

Crescent first emerged in the mid-nineties, as part of the incredibly vibrant Bristol post-rock scene that included artists like Flying Saucer Attack, Movietone and Third Eye Foundation.  ·The Crescent line-up includes members of both Movietone and Flying Saucer Attack.·This is their fifth album, and follows the English / pastoral direction of their last album ‘By The Roads And The Fields’.  ·‘Little Waves’ is a collection of songs that unfurl slowly and recall points from John Fahey to The Velvet Underground, Galaxie 500 to Hood, The Pastels and beyond.
