O' Buffalo, How These Thine Hands Bleed.

Let’s get back to it then, eh?

Long time no post. What can I say, the world’s a busy place, and you sometimes get caught up in it’s whirlwinds.

Starting with this update, I’m going to try and make this a once-a-day-download hub, so anyone who wants to know what I’ve been kicking around can enjoy some good tunes.

Today’s lucky number is a band called Toe. I was introduced to them by a friend of a now defunct mutual-friend, and he recommended me their album, The Book About My Idle Plot on a Vague Anxiety. They’re a band from Japan, infusing elements of post-hardcore, post-rock, and mathcore (this is really only limited to drummer, Kashikura Takashi, who does an amazing job on every track). The album itself is short; it clocks out 38 minutes, 11 tracks, but by itself it’s a non-stop portrait of instrumentals which are ever-changing.

Based out of Jacksonville, Florida, I had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform at the local all-ages venue some time ago. Having mentioned the group to the Flood Collective (Elias makes up some great names.) to somewhat favorable compliments, I figured I’d get more people into ‘em. Their sound could be described as experimental and prog, but in the end, it doesn’t matter because the songs in their 4-track S/T EP are golden. A standout track, “Paseo De Salamandria”, begins with a sweeping hypnotic rythm and from there on the rest is a blur, not noticing when one track ends and the other starts. Look for their tour dates here and look for their full-length to be released Fall of this year on Hello Sir Records.

These entries may come in a timely manner, but no sane person lives as an entity of a personified web around the world, so they may not come at all. I will be including reviews of films, books, and music along with accompanying downloads for the last. So tell your friends, tell your family, and tell your dog.
