The Destruction Of Small Ideas
As the album title might suggest, 65daysofstaic are not afraid to aim high - with their previous two studio albums grandly realised journeys into the post-rock night sky that look to Mogwai, Autechre and Steve Reich for inspiration as electronic elements are incorporated into the mix for added texture. Harking from the seven hills of Sheffield, 65daysofstaic prove that there's more to the city of steel than Arctic Monkey wannabes, with 'The Destruction Of Small Things' further enhancing their claim to wall-of-guitar grandeur and scarred sky solipsism. Opening with 'When We Were Younger & Better', 65daysofstatic don't sound unlike Muse at their most unbridled - albeit washed clean of the faux-Yorke wailing and replaced with some truly thundering rhythms that propel the whole composition down the asphalt at break-neck speed. Able to do the whole 'quiet-loud-pretty-LOUD' thing whilst avoiding the numerous clichés that often blight such excursions, 65daysofstatic take their music very seriously and throughout 'The Destruction Of Small Ideas' you're well aware of the accomplished individuals who are raising sonic hell. Moving on, the next post-rock enema comes via 'Failsafe' and its clever use of rhythm and piano interludes - with the whole thing flailing around in a digital straight-jacket that finally breaks to unleash a tsunami of sound. Elsewhere, 'Wax Futures' matches a skittering electronic beat to broiling riffs, 'Music Is Music...' introduces the notion of classical elements through some baroque flourishes, whilst 'These Things You Can't Unlearn' will take your head off through sheer sonic might after its tender introduction. Closing with the 'The Conspiracy Of Seeds', 65daysofstatic hint at possible things to come - incorporating Strepsil vocals and a sweet female voice to balance the ruptured rock universe spewing forth behind. Statictastic!
