This great post rock comes to us not via Chicago or New York like most great PR bands but all the way from Czech Republic! Yeah, Waawe have vocals on some tracks, never too strained or angry but always adding depth to the already great instrumentation. They are also able to do the melodic instrumentals without seeming extravegant. The guitars are different with their rhythmic, almost pulsing at times, strumming. The bass in some tracks sound so much like Fugazi but in the track "Ecstatic Rhythms" the guitar lead floats a quiet melody and then a flute is introduced and then finally the vocals come in, all while the bass is plugging away. This 5 piece is really inovative and refreshing. It's good to see bands of this caliber popping up in other places outside of North America. This is a band that would be right at home on Touch and Go or Thrill Jockey.
