Deep Time - Gilligan


Deep Time - Clouds


"Deep time" is a geological term. I'm guessing "deep" come from law of superposition. The further down the layers of dirt and rocks are, the older it is. Basically the deeper you dig the further back in time you go.

Which applied to indie, or alternative Rock the name would be fitting for this band since they go back time to the formative years of that genre. Their sound are like a missing puzzle piece that fits perfectly between Art Punk, and post-Punk bands of the 70s. What I enjoy about the band is that they're not reproducing another post-Punk band signature sound.There are obvious comparison to other bands like Delta 5, and Kleenex/Lilliput etc. I've seen in a Pitchfork review. Sgt Sierra and reminds me of their take on Wall of Voodoo. Same with Colemanbut slow-down and a bit of Talking Heads thrown in too. The last track, Horse, sounds like Andy Gill made a guess appearance.

Some bands you hear you wondering if they're trying to be another band, especially with bands who want to sound like Joy Division (not that I dislike bands like that). It's also refreshing that they don't go that Joy Division route and draw inspiration from other bands. Despite the comparisons and similarities, I don't get with Deep Time. I feel they are just being themselves.
