And So I Watch You From Afar

So as per usual, I’ve gotten bogged down under a mountain of new music (mostly shite) and let something special go unregarded.

But today, I make amends.

So here (a few months late) is the news of the debut album from Northern Irish post-rockers And So I Watch You From Afar courtesy of my mate Jay (mad props yo). For fans of Pelican, Red Sparowes, 65daysofstatic and Explosions In The Sky, the Belfast 4-piece encapsulate all that is great about huge, atmospheric post-rock without ever being confined to the genre. Incorporating elements of punk and Battles-esque math-rock, ASIWYFA have offered a new spin on post-rock that is extremely welcome.

The debut self-titled album is out now (and has been for a while, bad Marko) on Small Town America records. Here for your listening pleasure is one of the standout tracks from the album, A Little Bit of Solidarity Goes a Long Way.
