Lymbyc Systym - "Shutter Release"




















Gorgeous, electronically processed post rock. Reminds me a lot of the Octopus Project, a more well-known act that also mixes electronics with acoustic instruments. Lymbyc Systym is a duo of brothers from Arizona that whose songs alternate from upbeat to serene. The first couple tracks on this record are very uptempo, with layers of synths, bell-chimes, fuzzed guitar riffs, and driving, rousing drum patterns that keep the tempo moving. However the record is full of diverse sounds, including slide guitar, horns sections, and ambient electronic effects. Also reminds me a lot of Do Make Say Think with their expansive, orchestral sound. I really liked "Ghost Clock" and "Contemporary Art".
