I've been listening to Scale the Summit almost every day after work, on my way home. I'm totally into the quartet's all-instrumental affair in The Migration; there's this sublime awe when it comes to bands who team up to create vocals-free music. This is definitely a put-off for pop music enthusiasts, very technical musicianship but the music in this release is somehow enveloped by restraint. I only realized this after repeated listenings, in fact, some of the arrangements were subsequently re-used in other numbers, very intelligent & tasteful incorporation, mind you.
However, after listening to guitarist Chris Letchford (seen here doing a clip for EMG pickups) playing one of the tunes off the record, we know these chaps are worthy addition to the future of instrumental music.
