Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:The third full-length album from Do Make Say Think,
& Yet & Yet finds this Toronto-based orchestral sextet delving deeper and deeper into the fabric of space-rock, jazz fusion and drone dynamics. Anyone familiar with the intricacies of Tortoise's
Millions Living Will Never Die will surely find much to love here. 'Classic Noodlanding' shares something of that fine record's ornate-yet-melancholy tone, thrumming bass melding with hypnotic passages of studiously-plucked guitar. Meanwhile, the portentously-titled 'The End 0f Music' ropes warm analogue synths and celestial drones into its triumphant design and the stark 'Chinatown' adds a minimal techno dimension to its evocative, effects-laded feedback waver.
Sure, there's nothing quite as dramatic here as the incendiary crescendos peddled by Do Make Say Think's Constellation label-mates, Godspeed You Black Emperor! Rather, it seems
& Yet & Yet is the work of a group devoted to mapping out the quieter reaches of the experimental spectrum. Do Make Say Think will remain peripheral members of the avant-garde hierarchy for this reason alone, but any post-rock fans desperate for a new fix should find
& Yet & Yet a pleasingly tranquil leap forward. --

This is very good!
I actually dont have this albumn yet but i listened to the whole thing in the record store coz i blasted all my money on [another singer].
AND I WISH I HAD SPENT MY MONEY ON THIS.
The songs seem instantly likeable.Less soundscapes just really good tunes. The old do make say think is still there but i guess theyve just become more accessible.Which is so not a bad thing, because accessible usually means good.
Less raw than landlord, but it still has the lounge feel of self titled. The melodies just suck you in and send you into a trance letting you create a film in your head with the best soundtrack...
Note: -
do make says and thinks
it seems as though the new do make say think record is more about songs this time around, rather that sounds...the longest track is something like 9 minutes...but the songs are good. it sounds like they spent some time working out song structure into a more focused project...in a word - great.
