Well today as you\u00a0should know from my last post, I’ve been listening to music! In fact I’ve been scouring the Internet looking for new music to listen to, and I came across “Like A Fire Without Sound by Should” and I must say I quite enjoy\u00a0from what I can hear of their\u00a0music.<\/p>\n
Seems the album is due to be released tomorrow the 26th of April 2011. So perfect timing on this post if I must say so myself!<\/p>\n

It has been 13 years since Should’s last album proper, the complex shoegaze\/postrock haze of 1998’s Feed Like Fishes.<\/p>\n
While much time has passed, the core elements of Should have not wavered: the ultra-sweet male\/female vocal melodies, the penchant for the unexpected, and the ability to find beauty in the minimal.<\/p>\n
The band’s immaculately crafted third album, Like a Fire Without Sound, infuses the pop sensibilities of Eno and Yo La Tengo while maintaining the personal eccentricities and atmospheric flourishes that have always set Should apart.<\/p>\n
Like a Fire Without Sound was conceived and recorded over a five-year period, and infuses idiosyncratic indie flair with pleasing pop sensibilities. Bookended by Eno-esque tributes “Glasshouse” and “The Great Pretend,” the hook-laden record is simultaneously spacious and intimate.<\/p>\n
Eschewing the fashionable trend of burying production in cavernous lo-fi reverb and fuzz, Like a Fire Without Sound is not warmed-over 1990s-era Should. The layers of fuzzed guitar have been peeled back and the pop quotient is dialed up considerably, aiming instead to balance the twin peaks of soundcraft and songcraft.<\/p>\n
The end result of these efforts is an unpredictable record that \u2014 like Eno’s early pop albums \u2014 endures and is not easily ascribed to a particular era.<\/p>\n
Timeless yet out-of-place, it’s the unwavering soundtrack to daydreams of life’s losses and loves.<\/p>\n
Like a Fire Without Sound will be released April 26, 2011.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
