The excellent Australian web and print music zine Cyclic Defrost has just published an ace review of Bury the Sound’s Autumn Magnets EP. Like many others, the review speculates about the prospect of an album from the band, so you’ll be happy to know that they’re currently working on new material, and will be playing live in Melbourne on 25 October. Stay tuned for more details soon.
Excerpt: “Opening track ‘What Would One Become’ vividly introduces the band’s widescreen sweep… By contrast, ‘Saratoga’ comes across as more concisely focused over its comparatively short six-minute running length, introducing unmistakable hints of Pink Floyd-esque prog into the equation as cosmic-sounding drones build beneath contemplative bass figures and feathery dub-treated cymbals… ‘Gemini Unbound’ brings this EP to a close on perhaps its most cinematic-sounding note… Autumn Magnets is an extremely impressive EP from Bury The Sound that hints towards very good things ahead – at just three tracks, it’s also somewhat frustratingly short, and hopefully we’ll soon get to hear just what this intriguing Melbourne-based band are capable of over a longer release.”
Excerpt: “Lounge? Yep. Prog-rock? Aplenty. Krautrock? Sure… a frequently brilliant, frequently insane collection of musical scenes.”
