Levamentum menti, Latin for "comfort for the mind", that's what music is for me. This blog will be an ongoing record of interesting music that I come across. Check it out, maybe something will suit your tastes!
Don't forget to up the quality on the embed for better sound quality.
54-40 is a Canadian band active since 1981. Of the four original members, guitarist Phil Comparelli left in 2005 and was replaced by no other than former Matthew Good Band guitarist, Dave Genn. Actually, Genn is the reason I even happened across these guys. And, naturally, I digg the guitar-work by Genn, though I'm probably super biased.
This song is "Northern Soul", the titular track off the Northern Soul album from 2008. The sweet-sounding accompanying vocals are provided by front-man Neil Osborne's daughter, who now records under the moniker Kandle.
All-in-all, nice song, though I guess the antiwar sentiment's a little too blatant for me (not that I'm anti-antiwar).
Compliments of /r/postrock. Strangely enough, the poster of the initial video promptly changed the video description to "No, deleigh, this is not post-rock.", deleigh being the thread starter from Reddit, talk about staying on top of things.
Bio doesn't say much except that they formed in 2007 in Japan. The song is off of their 2012 album 渦になる. And gosh-darnit, they were just in town a few weeks ago. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING? OH, THE HUMANITY.
