Labradford - Accelerating On a Smoother Road
While on the ride home from work today, I was drifting off to sleep with the post-rock band Labradford playing on my iPod. It was a strange experience to say to least, having the sunlight splatter shifting colors behind my eyelids while the haunting ambiance set in. While partially asleep, I could still hear the jangling guitar and soothing drones weave in and out, as my body slipped into some subdued state of paralysis. When I got home, I found this strange video and it seemed to capture the mood. This song is from their debut album Prazision.

That song is so much like Jesus and Mary Chain. Is there a relation to the group? I am going to listen to more on Youtube now… Hey Youtube is a great place to listen to songs.

As far as I know, there is no relation between Labradford and JMC. Labradford hail from Richmond Virgina and have released several full length albums on the small indie label Kranky. Their sound became more abstract and ambient over the years, moving away from vocals and conventional arrangements found in this early (93) song.
