Moonlit Stereo, Explosions in the Sky, soundtracks for modern fairytales, "X&Y" by Coldplay without vocals, Instrumental AVA.
I think you meant Moonlit Sailor? I only know them because the AP reviewer compared them to my album (Align in Time). Great RIYL for this, I'm psyched to check it out.
I dunno... got some good spots but overall feels like it was written for commercial use - I won't be surprised if this is all over ads for everything from the NFL to indie movies in 6 months. It will make for great montage music...
So I have listened to this album twice so far. I really want to like it, and I do for the most part, but the drums kind of annoy me. They sound so...fake. I don't know, maybe they were grow on me. Everything else sounds great.
