(Clicka qua per la versione Italiana)
Toe, a Japanese quartet, delivered sophisticated prog-rock on
For Long Tomorrow (White Noise, 2009):
an atonal guitar a` la Arto Lindsay
embellishes Flute Shoushitsu Point I,
After Image boasts a lyrical counterpoint,
quasi flamenco lines and random vocals;
the Afro-Brazilian percussive frenzy of Esoteric is enhanced with
free-jazz horns in Our Next Movement;
Two Moons spills over into
Leo Kottke-esque country impressionism;
Goodbye is an oneiric and chaotic lullaby that injects emotion into
post-rock; and
Long Tomorrow achieves an unlikely marriage of the
oneiric and the neurotic.
