Boredom has its moments.
Ever spend time on Google just searching for random things for no good reason? No? Well, I do. And recently one of the things that came to my mind was my place of employment, Ptarmigan Sports. After finding our comically out of date webpage I looked through the remaining results and stumbled upon a band from Toronto called Ptarmigan.
At the time, they were allowing for free downloads of their new album "Our Ancient Friends". Being one to never turn away from free new music, I snatched it up and gave it a casual listen. Well it didn't take long for that casual listen to turn into a fully focused aural experience.
If you at all liked my review of the band Tapes 'n Tapes then it won't take you long to get into the musical offerings of Ptarmigan. They have a spacey, reverb heavy sound with guitar work and crescendos that are often reminiscent of post-rock. You can listen to the entire album below thanks to lala.com

ReplyDeleteHey! I'm the drummer in ptarmigan, I'm so glad you're enjoying the album! I'd like to clear one thing up from your post, we're actually from Columbia, Missouri. The band from toronto was a psych-folk group in the 70's.. Check out our last.fm page here
