Town Portal - Vacuum Horror EP

Town Portal - Vacuum Horror EP
Independent




Fans of math rock should be very pleased by this release with this trio. Coming from Copenhagen, Denmark, Town Portal are an instrumental math rock group who stray from some of the more noodling sounds often associated with the genre to offer a more hard hitting album here. This doesn't quite fall into the post-metal sound, but Vacuum Horror is as much rock as it is math, if you get my meaning.

Fans of bands like And So I Watch You From Afar, Disappearer and Terraformer should dig this quite heartily.

Cloudkicker - Let Yourself Be Huge

Cloudkicker - Let Yourself Be Huge
Independent




Cloudkicker is a post-metal project that stands head and shoulders above most of its contemporaries; only, B.M. Sharp is just one person. His output is prolific to say the least, and his style is varied. One minute it's a slowed down acoustic riff, the next it's a barrage of tone that leaves your ear searching for the route you took into this land, and unable to find it, the mind relaxes and starts to drift. Exclusively instrumental, epic, monstrous and grand, Cloudkicker will not disappoint fans of post-metal or progressive music in general.

Let Yourself Be Huge is a far more subdued mathy album from Cloudkicker. Past albums have had an almost assaulting feel from front to back; walls of guitar were the norm. LYBH, however, has opened up a softer side of Sharp's writing and recording style. I recommend this album if you're a fan of cheap red wine, cigarettes and writing poetry alone in a darkened room.
