Excerpt - “The real challenge with “Too Emotional For Maths” is, that to fully enjoy the subtleties of this album, you must first find the key to unlock the rewards. When the key is found, the treasures available are a joy to behold. There are so many intricate intertwining guitar parts, twisted chord structures, illusive percussion touches and smatterings of electronics. This album, unlike many lesser post-rock efforts, is not an instant quick-fix of quiet-loud dynamics, it’s an intelligent effort, that requires a certain degree of concentraition. Most importantly, though, this album is guaranteed to grow on you after repeated listens.”
Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the official release of the EP, “Fining”, by Australian ambient rock outfit My Majestic Star. “Fining” is the follow up to the wonderfully received My Majestic Star debut album, “Ideas are the Answer” which appeared in the Luna Kafe Top Ten Albums of 2006 list as well as recently receiving a shining review in Stylus Magazine.
“It is the subtle narrative crafting that makes “Fining” so special. Songs, turn so gently as to make you unaware that you have been left somewhere far different from where you started. Structures are allowed to fall into themselves then pick up again with new binding and direction.” - Press Release Excerpt.
