Klever - Discography

Klever is one of the most interesting and most unknown bands to come off of the russian post-rock scene of the mid-2000's. They have a very short discography, consisting of one EP and one full-length. They were formed in St. Petersburg.

Klever is composed of guitarist Sergey Makovka (Сергей Маковка), multi-instrumentalist Zmitser Holtsman (Дмитрий Гольцман) and drummer/percussionist Denis Rusakov (Денис Русаков).

Frames - Discography

I stumbled upon this band accidently, when searching for something about another band, the irish act The Frames, and this one band is very impressive. It seems fitting that a post-rock band from a heavy metal label (SPV) would be posted in this blog. But after you hear their work you may ask yourself how in the actual fuck Frames has gotten into SPV, and well... so did i. Frames was born in Germany in 2007, and in 2014 they toured with the prominent post-rock act Maybeshewill, leaving two albums and one EP before the members started working on side projects.

The band consists of Jonas Meyer (guitar), Manuel Schönfeld (keyboard), Hajo Cirksena (bass) and Kiryll Kulakowski (drummer). Hajo currently works with Eliane Oesch in a pop project called Lorraine. Cornelius, who backed Manuel in live shows, also works on a band called The Aqualung. Much ironically, there's a prog band called Aqualung as well.

The band's sound incorporates the melodic post-rock approach of Maybeshewill and early Mogwai, along with complex songwriting that granted them the label of neo prog by some critics, but there's more to Frames than just that. Their sound is far more romantic, calm and soothing than what you'd find in a prog rock band in the 2010's. Although their songs are carefully crafted in a very meticulous production and composition, the band manages to execute a very sentimental soundscape. 

The band's discography currently consists of the CXXIV EP and full-length Mosaik and In Via. Their last album, In Via, was released in 2012, and since then they've toured throughout 2013 and 2014, promising to work on their third full-length later. However, they stated on their site that it was planned to be released on 2015. Well, it's 2017 and no signal of new album. Very sad.

Talons - Discography

Talons is a six-piece instrumental band from Hereford, England, formed in 2004. They were formed as a reincarnation of the members' past band, Kites, with a slightly altered line-up. They're instrumental post rock with math rock and hardcore influences. The band's line-up has never suffered any change.

The band consists of two violinists (Reuben Brunt and Sam Little), two guitarists (Oliver Steels and Sam Jarvis), one bassist (Chris Hicks) and one drummer (Alex Macdougall).

The band signed contract with the recording company Big Scary Monsters in 2009, and released their debut, Hollow Realm, in the following year, after a compilation of their work before the debut. In 2014 they released their second album, New Topographics.
