We loved The Autumn Project last album A Burning Light from last year. It was one of those albums that we recommended to everyone we knew, everybody around the C-Blast HQ were into it, and we still play that disc pretty frequently over here. Not that it was groundbreaking or mindblowing or anything, it's just that The Autumn Project are really, really good at writing and playing super dreamy instrumental rock that we find very easy to lose ourselves in. Their songs are panoramic and meditative, and to us alot of The Autumn Project's music sounds like a droney, lush version of The Cure's Disintegration filtered through the metallic slowburn of Isis and the lonesome Western cinematics of Souvenir's Young America. Their melodies are so emotional and beautiful, but really well written; they also utilize effects heavily to build those heavy layers of delayed guitar and unearthly loops...the album is filled with awesome delay pedal symphonies that'll take yer breath away. Hypnotically slow and atmospheric epic instrumental rock, just as great as anything that Red Sparowes have been doing, but The Autumn Project is ripping anyone off, which is why we dig 'em so much. We've been working on getting their older releases stocked here at C-Blast as we sold a bunch of A Burning Light and we've actually had a number of customers ask us about carrying The Autumn Project's other stuff...finally managed to track their previous two albums down, one of which is 2003's Fable, a 10 song hour long disc that's just as beautiful and brooding and lush as their new one, all slow and unearthly layers of dreamy melodies and glimmering electronic clouds that will every once and a while erupt into huge crunchy dronemetal blasts. On the other hand, "Right/Left Thinktank" has the band exercising some wicked keyboard-metal harmonies over a complex mathrock jam, and "The History of Easterly Migration Westward" paints a bleary landscape of psychedelic drones and misty sheets of slide guitar. Highly recommended!
