The Exploits of Elaine
From: UK
An explosive post-rock riot mixing together the intensity of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the mindfucking feedback of My Bloody Valentine, the beauty of Explosions In The Sky and the primal energy of At The Drive-In or The Stooges with elements of kraut, metal and minimalism.
Three EPs, free downloads and more available from their official website.
