Couch
Awesome new track from Germany's Couch. Solid instrumental post-rock that surprisingly is the type that will age beautifully. For a long time I thought that a lot of the mid- to late 90s post-rock slowly eroding my inner ear would be just a flash in the pan; music more memorable for the nostalgic quality it would have 20 years later. But after listening to the new Tortoise compendium and revisiting some more obscure older records, I realize that although a lot of this type of stuff can be sterile and relatively unengaging, the best post-rock can be adapted for the many transmissions we encounter in life. Check "Alles Sagt Ja," a pretty simple song with a complex set of undertones. It's sort of ominous, at times calmly uplifting, with a certain melancholy that's more than the sum of its parts. Like great post or math-rock, the best equation is often times the most simple...and dependable. RIYL: Fridge, Tarwater, The Notwist, Kreidler, Analogue, Can, Neu!, Mogwai Resources
