Boston based sextet that rose from the ashed of On Fire and The Burning Paris and released last Just their first album which can be streamed here:
Also their Myspace:
Supported in this album with a chamber section, adding an orchestral sound.
Some Post-rock, some heaviness, some art-rock, some not...
Enjoy

Cheking it out now, seems VERY post rock oriented. I like it.

The album is quite varied; at times orchestral, at times heavy-rock/post-rock, at times almost mainstream-rock... but always rock... :-)

I need to check this stuff out then. The samples at their myspace seem very interesting.

I just listened through their stuff and I really think they would fit well in post rock, their even classified as post rock everywhere I looked, and I don't think I'm wrong here. The vocals even remind me a lot of post rock band Gregor Samsa. Though I must admit they do have something different and that they might not be your typical post rock.  I really enjoyed it very much, thanks Assaf for bringing them up.

Said I would listen before; very good. It sounds to me like it would be a good addition to post-rock.
