I admit I jumped the gun to quick about saying Thee Silver Mt. Zion Orchestra & Tra-la-la Band's release of '13 blues for thirteen Moons' was hands down the best post-rock album of this year of course it was a decision based upon the moment and i must say that it's early in the year and i need to remind myself on the abundance of post-rock bands out there some of those being one's that have the talent to elaborate solid post-rock compositions. In interlude, after opening for bands like Minus the Bear, Pelican, These Arms are Snakes, Pinback, Red Spraowes, and even Tool. Russian Circles refined their sound of blending in the metal influence to the their more subtle post-rock and the dark eerie sound they've already acquired and punched us in the face with 'Station'. As some of you may already know the new addition to Russian Circles Brian Cook (These Arms are Snakes and Botch). Brian brings in a different side in experimentation and experience and embraces Russian Circles in their established sound that being of what we heard from 'Enter' which hit out of nowhere and exploded on the post-rock scene. I would love to give you a track by track on 'Station' but i'll spare myself the time that i'd put in typing the review track by track because the music itself is more than any words or letters said or read off this computer screen and this is coming from a band that hasn't used one word in their music. Russian Circles at first listen i thought was a Neurosis side project or something in that stature, but i was wrong some cats from Illinois decided to create some f****g mind-blowing music. expect something more than what your expecting and that's what you'll get with 'Station'. May 6th is the release date go grap a copy from itunes or your local record store i'm pretty sure amoeba will have it.
