2. Crippled Black Phoenix – A Love Of Shared Disasters (2006)


This band played last week at the Casbah in Hamilton and I heard they were amazing, turns out I heard right. They are a post rock group from England, but to call them post rock is bullshit. They sound like pink Floyd and have long epics that make you say wow when they are finished. ‘A love Of Shared Disasters’ has 5 songs that are longer than 6 minutes, and I honestly didn’t notice. They sound a lot like Sigur Rós too, with a large band including a cello, piano, accordion, “saw”? banjo and tons of other abnormalities.
Sharks and storms was a standout, as well as the northern cobbler, even though it was on the borderline of what can be considered music.
