Junius it were one of the secrets better avoided the Holiest Trinidad of the post-rock bostoniana that turned already for Spain in 2009. Registered in the capital of the state of Massachussetts, in which there is the most important scene of this genre, this friendly band of Caspian and Constants have passed forward with his last delivery, that November 16 came to us to Spain route Green UFOS.
Junius, that also they serve in Make My Day Records, a record stamp in which in addition to quoted also we are Lovedrug, which edited in June his disc The Sucker Punch Show, they present a rock to us openly epic, muscular by means of layers of atmospheric guitars, walls of guitars that some of them say, and voice melodies between Real Sunny Day you Be and I treated them less Gothic.
It even does well small they were serving in the second division of the post-rock but it is sure that they are going to promote the first one that there head, between others, Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky and God Is An Astronaut. And it is going to do it with an album, The Martyrdom Of A Catastrophist, of which it deserves well the sorrow to be done by the edition in vinyl of 180 grams 12 ", since the front of Drew Speziale and the illustrations of the libretto of twenty-four pages, worked by Matt Gauck, there are an authentic marvel.
The quartet delivers to us a conceptual disc dedicated to the figure and to the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky, an intellectual of born in Russia in 1895, psychologist and sociologist author of the work World in collision, published in 1950, which he was suggesting that in historical times the planet Earth has been on the point of clashing with other planets of the Solar system, Venus and Mars.
In fact some intros and interludes are extracted of recordings of conferences of the proper author, in particular of Velikovsky: The Bonds of The Past, transferred by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I divide in ten parts, The Martyrdom Of A Catastrophist, a work that we can classify of post-rock but in which also there is space rock, rock of maximum intensity and pelín progressively.
Junius they force us to listen to the disc from beginning to end and leave in the end a very agreeable retaste to us. But if it was necessary to stay with a pair of them those who come to the memory there are eight minutes ‘Have Year Librarian’ and ‘Birth Rites By Torchlight’ (YouTube), in addition to ‘Elisheva, I Love You’. Other of my discs of 2009.
