My
first thought of Ecole du Ciel (which I am undoubtedly mispronouncing in my
head) is that it takes me back to a time when a label such as Equal Vision
Records had bands that I enjoyed and I was listening to just about every single
one of them. Now I couldn’t even name one band on EVR.
It
makes me kind of sad, as I wonder if tastes change (mine or theirs) and
something like Already Dead, who I am currently enjoying all of the releases
of, will one day change and I’ll be saying “Remember when…”. But that won’t be for something like ten
years, so let’s appreciate the time now while we have it.
Ecole
du Ciel (which I know I’m going to fuck up and misspell one of these times) has
that heavy indie rock quality of a band such as The Lot Six. That is combined with the absurdity of
Piebald and the underlying hardcore tones of Grade and I Am the Avalanche.
The
second side of this tape is a bit more instrumental heavy, and it reminds me of
the Casket Lottery, especially on the second track (fifth overall). It’s just weird because there is a lot of
dead air on the first and it makes sense when you realize that the second side
is at least twice as long, though I’m not actually counting.
