There are a few bands in the post rock genre that you can clearly say, These guys are completely
different than what people think post rock sounds like. Although As the Poets Affirm may not be one
of those bands, what they've got in talent and songwriting exceeds many of their contemporaries. The
listener discovers this right from the first song. Polyhymnia is a song that is dramatic and
explosive, switching back and forth between a light piano and distorted guitar at will. The band
immediately presents to you their grasp of melody and dynamics and does not let down from there. The
songs are very guitar centered and still use the cello very nicely, it adds a great touch to the
rhythm section. This instrumental album does carry with it a rather despondent tone, but somewhere
in the more distant parts of the music, there seems to be a more upbeat part playing at the same
time. The two go really well together and create a unique mood, a mood from which the album gets a
lot of its strength as a composition. This band is far too overlooked given their talent as shown on
this album. This debut shows huge amounts of potential and is itself one of the more impressive
releases. Post-rock fans, pay attention because you would certainly be drawn to this band. What a
fine collection of beautiful, expressive music!
