Teeth of the Sea - Orphaned by the Ocean

Hey Scifi...

Someone, somewhere, somewhen recommended me this band and record.
But I just don't remember...
Is it a heavy version of Explosions In The Sky?
Maybe I'm reaaally mixing something up...

Anyway... How much points would you give it on a scale from 1 to 15 (15 - best)?

Dennis

I wouldn't say they are a heavier version of Explosions In The Sky at all, but people tend to lump them into the post-rock genre. However, I think they are considered post-rock in the same way Godspeed You! Black Emperor are considered post-rock, because they can't be easily pigeonholed. Teeth of the Sea are kind of drone-like at times, but have songs that could be considered structured much like a post-rock band (soft introductions to violent crescendos). The band utilizes more than just the basic instruments (e.g. horns & keyboards) and they really do make some unique music.

With that rambling out of the way, on a scale from (how about on a scale from 1-10? That works better for me) 1-10 I'd say strong, strong 7.5 and every time I hear their album I enjoy them more and more. So, take what you may from that. Great band.


Oh, and that album is in my top 20 favorite albums of 2009 too.

Allright...
Thanks, man!

As I enjoy listening to the above named bands I think I'll have to give Teeth Of The Sea a shot...
