This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
This Will Destroy You. Young Mountain EP. 2005. 3.5 stars.

The fittingly named post -rock band This Will Destroy You have crafted a dense and powerful EP that follows the same slow-burning instrumental pathways as bands like Explosions in the Sky, while still making unexpected (and welcomed) detours.

While the ambient compositions give way to fiery crescendos, there are also diverse electronic flourishes and interesting break beats to keep your attention from waning during the long, neo-psychedelic passages.

Overall, this album sounds familiar but immensely satisfying if you are a fan of instrumental post-rock (as I am) and its shows the band’s potential for lyrical song structures and intense guitar-driven cataclysms.

Be sure to look for their self titled debut LP on January 29…
