Sure, I could’ve snagged the record from John right then and there, but the days of just buying an album on a whim are kinda gone.
Anyways, I told my pal John that I’d give them a listen on the ‘ol Rdio the next morning and see what I thought. Yeah, I know you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but when a band takes the time to not only put out great music -but take great care in album artwork, gatefold sleeves, and just a general classy presentation- well I really appreciate that kind of stuff. It kind of reminded me of something Godspeed You! Black Emperor might put out. He’d gotten their album Tunnel Blanket in the store and said he thought I might like ’em. Last week my friend John, who runs Karma Records of Warsaw(my hometown vinyl haunt), had nonchalantly brought This Will Destroy You up to me while I was in the store perusing. It’s a harrowing and quite beautiful world to be in. I’ve pretty much been immersed in the world of Texas band This Will Destroy You all week.
