Yesterday, I wrote a word or two about obscure music inventors. Now it's time for their apprentices, who so far did nothing really innovative, but managed to improve already existing paths. Actually, the internet era moved the disciples thousands miles away from their masters and then, curiously, reunited both through MySpace contacts and gigs around the world.Long ago, there were masters of no-vocal melancholy, plain gutar melodies and slow tempoes. They formed in Austin, Texas, to explore quite simple, yet entertaining idea of atmospheric music for everyone. That is how Explosions In the Sky rose to prominence and contibuted to post-rock by recording six important albums in ten eventful years. Unfortunately for us, these cowboys turned step-by-step into very much regressive band by coming close to perfection at copying their own achievements. Clearily, the art needed some fresh blood.
And here it is, under the sign of Mooncake, an unexpected Moscow reinforcement for US. colleagues. With faster pace, more guitar noise and intense build-ups, they simply surpassed the Texan masters. I never thought Russia can climb above America, but things you'll see below force me to change my mind.
