Our Australian signings THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING arrive in the UK for the first time next month to promote their 'Storyboard' album and i thought i'd let you know the dates incase you're interested.
if you like your music of the epic and instrumental type then maybe you should check em out. i've put a few mp3 links below too.
the band will also be selling a 100 only hand made tour cd at each show featuring five exclusive tracks.
QUOTES
“All glorious wisps of e-bowed guitar and rhythmic tom-bashing straight from the annals of the outback. Imagine if Godspeed had a brighter outlook on life; if they looked out over Montreal on a Monday morning and saw green grass instead of BLACK BLAAACK BLAAAAACK!” (Boomkat)
“Superbly packaged and splendidly recorded, the music is a crisp
presentation of minimalist post-rock. Indeed, This is Your Captain Speaking seem to owe more to the likes of Terry Riley and shifting repetition than, say, Mogwai's bombastic rock outbursts for effect. It's like Explosions in the Sky with a double dose of emotion yet produced with greater economy. A superb achievement.” (Missing Link)
“'Storyboard' is an intelligent, complex album that would be a fitting capstone to any band's career, let alone their premiere into the music world. By the end of the album, there is no doubt concerning the talent of this group of musicians, whom have delivered a masterpiece in its own right.” (Decoy Music)
