Synopsis

Album Description
Their latest release weaves threads of rock, jazz and Americana that are emboldened by a stable of musicians whose chops and subtle psychic interplay are more evident than ever before. "Their tunes are sweetly folkish in mood, but rather than verse-chorus-verse song structure that might make the absence of a vocalist noticeable, the music gently swells toward peaks, keeping the focus on the guitar interplay. The result is incredibly fluid and familiar sounding" - Washington Post. "...that rare breed of band that create hypnotic, beautiful instrumental music without resorting to tired cliché or melting away into boringness...churning guitars glide against each other as piano and bass support the interlocking melodies" - Skyscraper. "Epic indie rock" - All Music Guide.

CD Reviews

My first album of '07 could be the best
sleepingoffsummer | Minneapolis, MN | 01/23/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Most instrumental bands pull the listener in with the "silence to violence" scheme, but Six parts seven have created a happy medium here. Music for all..well, most moods. The lap steel guitar has more of a presence on this album than with their older stuff, and the trumpet is introduced on a track or two. Think American football and Stars of the lid with some folk and alt-country influences mixed in. Truly a moving album and 6P7's best yet. Standout tracks: "Conversation heart", "Falling over evening" and "Night behind the stars"."

"This is an album to just chill out to. Don't expect dramatic swells or intense instrumental interludes. "Casually Smashed to Pieces" is more for a Sunday afternoon backyard or porch party. Even though the tracks are solely instrumental and all relatively similar, you won't find yourself bored by listening to it at any point."
