Hello everyone, I mean if there is anyone reading this. I mean, hopefully there is so, hello! how are you doing today? If you were to ask me what I did today i'd have to tell you honestly. I went and saw Miranda July's new movie The Future which she even did a Q and A afterwards which was quite amazing to witness. After all of these events, I came home and now am sitting next to my wonderful girlfriend in Greenpoint.
It's strange to begin this post like that but it's what's honest and I feel that's what we need for what I want to discuss. Which is a wonderful band named Beau Navire. Beau Navire recently put out an LP called "Hours." In case you didn't know Beau Navire contains members of bands who all have impressive backgrounds, but the most impress bands of the four are definately two from California. These bands are Loma Prieta and I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism In Your Yearbook which contained Sean ( the great elder oak tree) and Trei.
The two of these amazing guitarists have combined both of their creative efforts to write a very beautiful and amazing screamo LP. Everytime I listen to it, I find myself having a completely different more mature listening experience. As most people that keep up to date on screamo ( or dare I say Skramz, just kidding) would know. Screamo has become a completely dead genre, void of all sorts of originality that it once gave birth too. Bands like Maths, and what not plague the genre with repetitive-ness. Thankfully, Hours breaks that mold and brings something to the table.
Hours, is the sound of youth and the sound age combined into one amazing effort. The album is pure art, in the most honest sense of the word. It is still a chaotic screamo work but the instrumentation truly defines it. The band takes the term screamo and pushes it to it's full potential, with every band member truly giving one hundred and ten percent. To be honest I can even compare it to "Jokes" by "Kidcrash" It's just that amazing honestly.
I can only hope that sometime there will be enough time for the four of them to do a full national tour. I'll be asking Sean when I see them in two weeks about the verdict. Who knows, all I have to say is please my lovely readers if you do happen to come across this record. BUY IT, like it's hotstock or something. Well, whatever good night :]
