Fans of Slint will like this record of post-rock songs, most of which exceed the 5-minute mark. The odd time signatures, non-traditional song structures, and abstract spoken lyrics will probably also appeal to progressive rock enthusiasts. I myself find many moments to enjoy, though overall it doesn't have the intensity or starkness of its obvious progenitor Spiderland, the great Slint classic.

Swimming in an ocean of sound

skribbleJae | Richmond,VA USA | 03/10/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The swimmer by Helms is an artistic masterpiece. I love the way the bass lines intermingle with the guitar and the drums pull you in, creating a sound that envelopes your entire being. The lyrics are thought provoking and sung in a kind whimsical tone with occasional eruptions of feeling. I love track 3 the smallest world in the world, the sounds that come out of the gutiar are unlike anything I have ever heard before, creating a beautiful image in your head. Track 6 starts off like a wave of sound. By chance I happened to see them play in Richmond, VA and I was instantly hooked. I bought the CD and have not stopped playing it yet. If you are looking for a new sound to carry you into the next level this is definatly it. Try it out I am sure you will love it just as much as I do."
