Sonic Level: The Evpatoria Report - Eighteen Robins Road

Godspeed You! Black Emperor. These four words and an exclamation mark among them were inspiring new post-rock bands all around the world. Their combination of weirdness, intensity and sheer narration serving as lyrics has no reasonable competition to this day. In fact, it's often depressing to see GY!BE's imitators, who have little to no understanding what is it all about.

But hopefully, there are also musicians, for whom word 'inspiration' does not necessarily means 'duplication'. Some of them are currently teamed in strange-name outfit - The Evpatoria Report. Actually 'Evpatoria' is both name of the asteroide, and an Ukrainian city, where big astronomic laboratory was build. The connections are self-evident: though TER is exploring 'Canadian formula', they are certainly leaving more room for so-called space rock effects.

Anyway, kudos to them for having enough coherent ideas to put into +15 minutes tracks without making me feel it's all artificial. Additionaly, shame on YouTube for allowing 10 minute videos only with just little exceptions. But for all patient listeners, Evpatorians prepared possibly one of the best quarters possible:
