Grails

i think they pretty easily fall into the post-rock genre, but their middle eastern flair sets them apart from the pack in a pretty good way

i'll say this, though... if you can't get into them based on Burning Off Impurities, you probably just can't get into them. Its fairly demonstrative of their entire catalog.

This thread dies every time I go away, doesn't it? No one else into them? I want to talk about the new album!

I'm a huge fan of the band. I didn't think they could of out done Burning Off Impurities but with Deep Politics they have. This is my statement from another forum in regards to thier new album, "it is an atmospheric, sophisicated and complex endeavour with eerie, heavy hypnotics and a distraught ambience yet balancing it with a elegance and thought provoking instrumental intelligence. The Grails have once again taken it to a new elevation of elaborance."

The best release of 2011 for me so far. 9/10. I don't give many 10/10 but this album is very close.

I think they album started off very strong. By the end, I was a bit bored, whereas Doomsdayer's Holiday was an epic ride from beginning to end. Burning of the Impurities is classical Grails, when they first introduce the "mid-eastern flair" Jimslade mention; however, I feel like this characteristic was showcased more in Doomsdayer's. Also, no one can deny it - that's one badass title for an album.

I'll have to take another listen at Deep Politics because I have trouble hearing why it surpasses Burning of the Impurities.
