Above the Earth, Below the Sky

by If These Trees Could Talk

Above the Earth, Below the Sky cover art

The debut full-length from the Ohio instrumental quintet perfectly balances the sweeping, delay-drenched crescendos of post-rock with the muscular, heavily distorted riffing of post-metal. The tracks are remarkably concise for the genre, avoiding over-extended ambiance to deliver driving, triple-guitar cinematic anthems. It firmly established them as powerful, highly melodic contenders within the American instrumental rock scene.
