Shamelessly trying to promote this fantastic mogwai/explosions in the sky influenced band called SuplexTheKid. Might as well add a review from Fake D.I.Y Records!
SuplexTheKid - The President's Button
βInspired by the elements as much as by modern music SuplexTheKid are an enigmatic proposition. Apparently named after an ingenious wrestling move their music sneaks up and traps you with similar efficiency. The phrase from a βwhisper to a roarβ goes some of the way to describing their shifts from chiming crystalline guitar motifs to face melting howls of primal feedback. This spacious and echoing music is vocal less and none the worse for it. Their bio cites Explosions in the Sky as their favourite band and the influences are apparent. However this does not do full justice to the range of sonic assaults aimed at the listener. At times the music is challenging, such as on βits about time you changedβ but this is time well invested in this reviewerβs opinion. Whilst I wouldnβt recommend this to anyone of a sensitive disposition, or recovering from open heart surgery I would strongly recommend this soundscape mini album to fans of Mogwai and the lengthy guitar climax. Although only a very small Indie release they are apparently recording their follow up album already so it may only be a matter of time before you have been Suplexed too.β
