The award for the most on-the-nose song title of the week goes to Denton, Texas' Pyramids. I found this gem on the always stellar British blog, 20 Jazz Funk Greats, from the self titled debut of a band who is confusingly not the recent Domino Records' signing the Pyramids who share the bloggers' home isle. These Pyramids traffic in delicate post-rock that will be of great interest to the (admittedly small) minority who thought the ambient tracks on Cryptograms were sort of vital to that records' appeal. But more than a reflecting pool of quietude, "The Echo of Something Lovely" feels like a gorgeous shoegaze ballad with all of its easy entry points forcibly blockaded. The vocal sighs evoke longing without articulating it concretely. The guitars combat a creeping white noise chirp, before both elements resituate themselves comfortable without truly coming to blows. I suppose those who crave truly epic directness might be put off by this, but sometimes you need the shade more than the tree that cast it.
