Customer Reviews for Young Mountain Cd Interesting first attempt Rating: This Will Destroy You's debut EP is pretty comparable to their subsequent self-titled full length, which I reviewed recently. It's shorter but still pretty long for an EP at about 40 minutes. They were doing the same thing then that they're still doing now, which means voiceless yet seemingly heartfelt post-rock building to distorted climaxes that often grab you much harder than most normal music does. The thing that jumps out the most about it are the weird song titles like "The World Is Our ___" and "Happiness: We're In This Together", but the tracks themselves do work their way into your good graces through the simple beauty of their musicianship. They continue to mix in piano and some electronic elements to good effect, adding layers of depth onto the production. It's another album that should be listened through, not skipped around in. I guess it's as good a starting point as any for the genre.
Editorial Reviews for Young Mountain Audio Cd Album Description The pride of San Marcos, Texas, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU are an instrumental quartet who play a cascading brand of cinematic rock music. "Young Mountain" is their formerly self-released masterstroke, a 6-song, 36 minute composition of aural brilliance that has already garnered an obsessed fanbase both in their home state and in underground circles worldwide. In spite of its previous CD-R-only incarnation, Decoy Magazine featured the album at #5 on their "Top 50 Instrumental Albums of 2005," ranking it ahead of SIGUR R'OS, PELICAN, and other successful modern acts. THIS WILL DESTROY YOU has catapulted quickly to the forefront of American instrumental bands in part due to their geographical lineage. In short, they are the natural progression and modern incarnation of all great Southwestern music from many generations past. Texas is in the blood of these four young men and every note they hang evokes the imagery and feel of traversing the long, lonesome highway of the! Southwest. Bands like THIS WILL DESTROY YOU and EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY have become our new Americana and everyone from T-Bone Walker to Wild Bill Longley are resting more peacefully because of it.
