4 stars SWEEK play wonderful Instrumental Epic Post-Rock, with violins and horns, ranging from obvious long melancholic tunes like 'A Dead Sleeping Forest' and 'Iki' to noisy 'Trust Me' with amazing folky high- tempo outro (not to mention that 'Tequila fitness club', a track with the most stupid name I've seen for a while, has real rumba section!). But this is neither your YNDI HALDA stuff nor SPARROWS SWARM AND SING lament - this is more like NEIL ON IMPRESSION or MAGYAR POSSE who manage to stay eclectic in narrow walls of Post-Rock room. I like such music, and SWEEK tends to show traces of originality despite the lack of emotions (read MELANCHOLY AND CLIMAXES!). Sometimes more Prog than Post-Rock, SWEEK has this stunning sense of 'music-ness': it seems that their experiments are never go further than music itself, no experimentation for its own sake, thanks for Sundays! That shouldn't mean they're afraid to experiment; in fact, that should mean they're too experienced to bore you with pseudo-experimental noises and anything of this sort. Highly recommended and not to be missed!
