Third new guy in a row

And I am talkative, so my posts are unlikely to share the brevity of previous ones. As a gift for reading my post, I offer ...And So I Watch You From Afar, an Irish post-rock band. This is not post-rock from the domain of Explosions In The Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, though; while ASIWYFA have undoubtedly studied the genre, they do not deal in slow-building, crescendo-based epics, but raw musical passion. While there is undoubtedly technical skill to spare among the four-piece- check out drummer Chris Wee's chops- they never descend into technical wankery, as is the risk with instrumental rock. Music to headbang to, from start to finish.
