简介：
美国后摇新团力作~
One of the last post rock gems I was introduced to is this exceptional album from a rather new american post rock band "The Ascent of Everest". I want to thank my friend Héctor who helped me discovering their music.
Were The Ascent Of Everest ever short of money, I’m happy to say I feel they’d be the kind of person who would ask to borrow your money innocently, rather than sneak around and take it when you suspect the least. Listening in on the band’s debut, the influences appear plainly into the album the way a whole range of post-rock bands seem to accidentally manage; obvious hints of gloomy climaxes, political outrage and atmospheric passages are spread about the five tracks. However, as How Lonely Sits The City plays, it becomes so easily engrossing that it retains a charisma of its own, and counts for something amidst its homage to the genre it resides in.
How Lonely Sits The City shows a band more wanting to connect themselves to their influences than to all too quietly copy them. Unlike the bands choosing the latter path, The Ascent Of Everest present their own triumph in being near-always captivating, even if it isn’t an unprecedented means of doing it. In places, they portray post-rock’s need for something different – “A Threnody” may not bring anything new with Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s intense spoken word flair, however in that it is still a rare sight in the late post-rock trend, The Ascent Of Everest have continued something (for now) that remains brilliant. Mario Cuomo’s words of the 1984 Democratic National Convention float impressively above strings and simplistic guitar and, atmospherically, gift the album with its most charmingly disturbing moments. The pick of Cuomo’s words resemble the climactic music with an intensity of their own; Mr. President, if you asked a woman who had been denied the help she needed to feed her children because you said you needed the money for a tax break for a millionaire or for a missile we couldn't afford to use. finally hands his overtly political address over to uproar and an intriguing session of repetitive cries of Not for honour/Not for country/Not for profit disguised in strings - the piece’s backdrop falling into place and instrumentally imploding with the singing to cause a mesmerising wave that remains both accessible and grand.
