Download it from youtube, because I'm too lazy to make a new filesharing account right now.

This is what I've been listening to all week. Thanks to Thom.
Tortoise is credited with helping to usher in the genre of Post-Rock, along with Mogwai. Their 90's releases garnered a good bit of praise from critics and fans of eclectic rock music everywhere. Millions Now Living Will Never Die (1996) and TNT (1998) represent groundbreaking forays into more jazz influenced compositions and experimental production techniques that were heard rarely in standard radio rock. The track length of some of their songs is intimidating, and sometimes frustrating (it's much harder to find a specific movement within a song than it is to find a certain track on an album), but it's by no means a dealbreaker.

I've been trying to get my hands on White Light Strobing since hearing one of the singles in a SXSW promo video a few months back. Desolation Wilderness has a knack for writing laid-back, ethereal songs that owe a bit to My Bloody Valentine, as well as more the recent songwriters Kurt Vile and Devendra Banhart. This album is very consistent. I found all the tracks worth listening to, and there are multiple gems, some of which I'm posting here. The only complaint I have is that the vocals are a little bit downplayed and maybe a tad too saturated with reverb to really understand, but I couldn't really picture myself enjoying DW's sound nearly as much if they were different. Enjoy heartily, folks.
