Biography:
Chemtrail assembled and began constructing songs in the early months of 2006. They are an instrumental band whose songs communicate through raw emotion rather than lyrical messages. Their debut album titled "Via Satellite" was released in September of 2007; receiving praise in the alternative European market and claiming the "Top Avant Garde" Asbury Music Award of 2007 in their home state of New Jersey.
Review of "Via Satellite" by Alessandro Bonetti from Kronic Magazine (Italy):
"4/5 stars" "the five-piece elegantly eludes an imitative approach..."
"a post-rock work of an emotive matrix..." "an album to chase..."
Review of "Via Satellite" by Manacast Reviews (UK):
Since the great success of bands like the Icelandic group Sigur Ros, there has been a surge in music followers new to the scene digging through the Post Rock crates of record shops looking for soundalikes. If you are one of these people, try stopping by American group Chemtrail's page.
Having more in common with Explosions in the Sky than Sigur Ros, these guys specialize in creating elegant guitar riffs, combining them with simplistic beats and elaborating on them throughout their tracks using heavy distortion (and lots of volume).
A prime example of this can be seen in their track, 35,000 feet. Opening with atmospheric washes of distorted guitar and a gentle plucked melody, this track builds into a glorious uplifting epic full of crashing drums and soaring guitar solos.
The track Face Me is a more raucous affair, starting with raging guitars and furious drumming akin to Mogwai's recent rafter-shaker 'Glasgow Megasnake'. Just when you think this ones mellowing out, it shifts up a gear into a distorted sonic fury, before returning to its original theme for the coda.
Chemtrail's music is packed full of passionate warmth and poise. People looking for your next step into the world of post rock, you might just have found it.
