Couteaux - Sail West to Reach The East (2012)







There is just something so beautiful to me about the mix of post-hardcore with math rock. Consider adding in the mix some POP hooks and strong vocals...and...well you've got a group ready for just about anything.

Couteaux seem perfectly at home melting these riff heavy gems around a metal and post rock center. But talk is talk folks and the proof is certainly in this pudding. If its sounding great to you on paper I can assure you that you wont be let down by these guys in the least.

Ridiculous

  1. The vox don't quite cut it, as they're just too boyish in tone and the vocal melodies are all pretty similar. And yikes @ the screamo vox at the end of track 3 — dude doesn't not seem particularly well-suited to that role.

    The tunes are solid nonetheless, and there's obviously a fine balancing act when bands try to mesh pop vox and metal/post-hardcore/whatever, so I can't hate on the sound too much.
