65 Days Of Static


65 Days of Static is an experimental electonica post-rock instrumental band. A mouthful to be sure, but quite true. The UK band plays appropriatly staticky and gritty mix of driving guitar and pounding drums. The melody over all the happenings going on is distinctly catchy, sometimes a guitar and oftentimes a keyboard. The music moves at 100 miles an hour and immerses you in an all new world. I hear their live show is pretty sweet, which wouldn't surprise me, based on the type of music they play.

The guys recently released their third studio album, The Destruction of Small Ideas. The album is softer overall, with more piano and a little less electronica. "Don't Go Down To Sorrow" is a storybook song that utilizes both a very quiet piano melody part and an upbeat loud guitar-driven part. Check out their myspace. If you like the mp3s, buy some of their stuff. And, some songs.
