Album Review: If These Trees Could Talk - The Bones Of A Dying World

StarStarStarStar

"Sidesteps the numbing repetition that too many post-rock acts fall foul of."

More If These Trees Could Talk If These Trees Could Talk Profile

If you're only going to release albums occasionally, you better make each of them count.

Although The Bones Of A Dying World took If These Trees Could Talk four years to make, there's a fresh vitality to it, almost as if it had all come together in some glorious jam session. The US band deftly sidestep the numbing repetition that too many post-rock acts fall foul of with imagination and a muscular performance that could go toe to toe with Russian Circles.
