MySpace Trawl - Kwoon
October 25th, 2007 at 15:30 by Matthew Laidlow
OK, we're gonna try and badly set this week's MySpace Trawl band to reflect what's going on around us. If we look out the window we'll see that the leaves are starting to peel off the trees and change to their various autumn colours of reds, golds and murky greens.
Ooh, it's almost depressing knowing that the nights are going to get here quicker and we'll be freezing our socks off trying to get home via the long commute from the office. It doesn't make for the best of times. What we need is some moody ambient music to help us battle through these dark evenings so we can quickly warm our hands on a nice hot cup of tea while settling down by the fire. That is unless if the gas company haven't cut you off like they have done with us. Anyway - Kwoon!
Autumn/winter seems to be a time for the more down-paced and sombre type of music. Thinking along these lines we have come back to the post-rock genre. Sigur Ros and Godspeed You! Black Emperor are some of our favourite acts when it comes to this style of music. Now we hope to add Kwoon to that list.
With their gorgeous melodies breaking gently through, we hope to see big things for this French act in the not to distant future. Even Kwoon's videos have been painstakingly made to show just how much concentration has been put into crafting their delicious sounds.
