Synopsis

Album Description
If last year?s breakthrough album 'We Move Through Weather' was Tarentel?s high water mark, then these two companion EPs could be interpreted as the rise and fall of that flood. The same recording sessions are responsible for all three releases: 'Paper White' represents the beginning, 'We Move Through Weather' is the inspired centerpiece, and the 43-minute 'Big Black Square' signals the smoky ending. Played in succession, the three releases chart Tarentel?s journey from dynamic, guitar-driven instrumentalists to perpetually curious treasure hunters of the mysterious sounds that most of us take for granted. If this were the end of Tarentel?s story, they would have enough riches to last a lifetime. Eight years into their career, however, it seems they?ve only just begun.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"These guys are amazing, and this is disc is post-rock at its most brooding best. I doubt the other reviewer truely knows what he is talking about, or his rating would have been higher. I mean this album puts into context noise, feedback, and lovely melodies, and makes it something listenable, enjoyable, and exciting. You may think that this is jus minimalistic, boring music, but this is mood music. It allows for breathing room, thinking room, and when the piece is done, you are left with only your thoughts. It is great when you are looking for relaxing music. I highly enjoyed this album, even though this is not for most people."
