The Big Sleep - Sleep Forever

Sleep Forever eagle
(The closest I can find to the cover right now...)

From Brooklyn, here is the three-piece's second full-length. Rock with a definite post-rock influence and some noisy bits thrown in (see: Sonic Youth). Some instrumental tracks, some with male vocals, some with female vocals, and some with both. More intense than usual post-rock, they skip the boring build-up-to-crescendo part and jump right to the crescendo part. This is good - they skip the boring parts of post-rock! Overall this is quite good, if you're into this genre, of course.
