 Good Instramental Album for Neurosis Fans. August 19, 2008
This Band is a combination of members from Neurosis and Isis, and it doesn't fall to far outside their sound box. Slow and daunting melodies and "soundscapes" flow evenly through this album which range from 4 minutes to 19 minutes. Mellow, with no crashes or big booms, and No vocals whatsoever. It is very reminiscent of the solo's and slow periods during Neurosis's A Sun That Never Sets. This is an album to be placed on in the background to study to, or do odd chores or catch up on e-mail. It could easily serve as the soundtrack to a movie, which makes sense since the visual director of neurosis plays guitars on this. Pick this up if you are a Neurosis fan, you will likely enjoy it. IF you like the side project Tribes Of Neurot, then this is very much like that, and you will definately need to get this.

First it was Neurosis that punished one's soul in a daunting fashion, then it was Isis whose gargantuan riffs flowed through one's veins and mockingly flurted with the explosion of the listener's heart. Now, the seeds of both legendary bands have created what is now Red Sparowes, and may I add that this cd is utterly addicting. Sounds that grasp your throat and leave you breathless. Masochistic?? Indeed.

I can't believe I found a more pretentious band than Godspeed You Black Emperor and Sigur Ros. Look at those song titles! I can almost smell the organic free-trade coffee and hand-rolled cigarettes from here. Five stars just for the size of their egos. Just imagine if this wasn't a side project. I know what I'm getting everyone for Christmas this year.

I came to Red Sparowes (through Isis) with very high expectations, and I was not entirely satisfied with this record. Too often, in my view, this record sacrifices emotional content for pretty composition and dreamy soundspace. In many ways, this record retraces the navel-gazing excesses of 1970's prog rock.
Formally, this is minimal, meditative, non-vocal, headphone-oriented rock music. Comparisons to Explosions in the Sky are very apt. Like that band, Red Sparowes know when to stop playing, and how to use the quiet spaces between the notes to build a quiet intensity. It's just a little too quiet and not quite intense enough.
Still, I must admit that this band has a lot potential. I look forward to their new stuff.
