maybeshewill - Not For Want Of Trying +4

Maybeshewill are a three-piece instrumental trio from the Midlands, who swell when playing live to accomodate their ‘rock-ensemble’ sound. They’re currently re-releasing an amalgamation of their sold-out debut album, and four tracks from their first EP - aptly called ‘Not For Want Of Trying +4’. No messing around here.

The monolith that is ‘post-rock’ is not, and never has been my forte, so there will be no intricate comparisons to others of the same ilk. Comparisons would be wasted anyway, with the similarities to others varying from track to track - hints of Aereogramme on the likes of ‘Seraphim & Cherubim’ for starters. Don’t just think alt-rock though, there are dance-beats and paper-chase-esque experimentation interspersed amongst the shadows of the instrumental tunes

With all sorts of whirrs and wheels between and contained within the songs, the band has a huge on-record sound; made even more impressive by their staunch DIY attitude to everything - recording, mixing and mastering their own output, as well as running their own record label for other acts they deem worthy.

If you’re a fan of the darker side of the likes of Sucioperro, That Fucking Tank or yourcodenameis:milo, the latter tracks such as ‘Not For Want Of Trying’ - complete with use of piano-peppered monologues and the awesome ‘C.N.T.R.C.K.T.’ should be right up your alley.
