Let’s face it, there isn’t a lot more that can be done in the post-rock scene that hasn’t already been done by now. Battles, Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai… they’re all great at conjuring up a storm but by now we’ve all heard it a bunch of times. It’s in that crowded scene that UK’s Vessels now drops a full-length entitled “White Fields And Open Devices”. No idea what the title is about but I do know that these Leeds boys are ready to play with the abovementioned big guns.
While Vessels is musically handicapped because of the restrictions that come with playing in an instrumental rock band (although they do break that rule a couple of times), they managed to record an impressive album that deserves to be heard a lot more than a whole host of other post-rock bands out there. Things go from quiet to apocalyptic in seconds and they do both equally well. Nice job guys!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
