See The Music XVI - EF @ PMK
Photos and Story by Beana Bern
The floor of PMK turned to quicksand last night by the time EF, a post-rock band from Sweden, played their second song. Like Mogwai or Sigur Ros, their thick, ambient sound builds slowly and before you know it, it’s rolled over you completely like a blanket of cement. Soft, sometimes too emo vocals, would wind and twist their way into heavy, driving sonic waves of sound before you realized what was happening.
I was struck at how good they were and wasn’t sure if I held that opinion because I rolled in with no expectations or because I was genuinely affected. When I got home, only a couple hours before sunrise, I found them on MySpace and decided to take another pass and see…
The 6 tracks they have posted are worth listening to but only if you have a quiet moment to let the music transport you to that breezy, sometimes stormy, place all the tracks seem to go. It was a total sleeper but I’m really glad I motivated…If you’d like to see the complete album from last nights post-rock feast, click here.
