There are worse things to do in life as you wait and prepare for your Friday morningm than to listen to an album of the month from Uncut Magazine. They generally know what they're talking about. Guides.Sherpas.
So this mornung Gastr Del Sol. We Have Dozens of Titles. They're a Post Rock stalwart quartet, steered by Louisville, Kenticky born David Grubbs. Post and Math Rock albums are interesting propositions. It was a movement intent on making new shapes out of established forms.
When I was a teenager a lot of my schoolmates became obsessed with the artwork of MC Escher who definitely seeme d a precursir of the strange, mathematical, concentration at work on records like We Have Dozens of Titles. It has a weird intensity. Much of it sounds like Jazz.
Anyhow I enjoyed listening through to it this morning. It deserves the attention Uncut have just bestowed upon it. It's a record that's there. And you might enjoy listening too.It's largely instrumental. Somehow the scarcity of vocals is irrelevant.The record has calm, poetic resonance.
