Editor's review
Using a staggering array of tonal colors and instrumentation, 65DaysOfStatic is anything but static. Lush, organic layers of piano and guitar slowly build evocative melodies into suspenseful crescendos only to be selectively shattered by break-beat and trip-hop explosives. Meandering tastefully between styles and tempos, 65DaysOfStatic is an elusive species of cybernetic shoegazers drawing on almost everything to create something entirely fresh and amazing.
Biography
Fans across the pond were lucky enough to indulge in Sheffield's 65daysofstatic's second long player One Time For All Time last year. And, oh how they sang its praises: four stars in Kerrang and high praise from Rock Sound and The Wire, among many others. Now, those waiting with bated breath in the States finally get a chance to delve in to this refreshing gene-splice of electronic glitch and guitar girth. What if Squarepusher joined a post-hardcore incarnation of Mogwai? Maybe you'll find answers here, but 65daysofstatic's speaker-frying blend of instrumental fury and ambience is a product of its own rich imaginations. The album's futuristic tone makes for a perfect score for an unwritten sci-fi epic, with the frenetic drums reaching a ridiculous pace keeping up with the machines in the back all the while guitars blaze and synths slice.
