To some people the word ‘post-rock’ makes them instantly turn away in disgust, but if you’re stupid enough to dismiss the genre all together then you’re doing yourself a major injustice. Take Stationary Odyssey for example, these guys have been making some great music for the past seven years and they’ve uncovered many different ways to keep the post-rock genre interesting.
In November they will release their fourth album Sons Of Boy; their first since Head! Foot! And The Pink Axe back in 2006. In between they released a split CD with Detroit rockers Child Bite. Shawn Knight of Child Bite has come back to help with the new record, along with Chris Schlarb (I Heart Lung) and a long list of various composers and rock musicians, joining forces with Stationary Odyssey’s Aaron Tanner and Brett Siler. Sons Of Boys kicks into overdrive, powering the band into a new dimension coated in white noise and bubbling with the sound of guitars, screeching and squealing their way into microscopic sound waves.
There’s quite a lot of anticipation surrounding this release, so if you’re a fan of avant-garde noise, shoegaze, prog or even grind-core, then get yourself over to Joyful Noise Recordings‘ website and check out the band’s back catalogue. Here’s the first single from Sons Of Boy titled ‘Rib Letters’.
