DESCRIPTION:
*I do not own this video, and am uploading it only to display an example of this band's sound for no profit. Perhaps it will create new fans for the artist*
With no musical credits in the liner note, it took some searching to find out any info on this Brooklyn band. The album is still available for purchase, and with their last album streaming on band camp from 2012 (recorded in Philly), it would seem they are a still active, mostly instrumental prog-like surf band. “Pig Pile Part One” starts with a twinkling jangley guitar, that is part surf and part shoegazing. It meanders around, only giving hints to the catchy pure surf hook that is coming up. It really creates the image of the waiting for waves, and then the ocean sucking you out with the tide, and building to a fun carnival ride, taking the wave to the shore, then starting over again with the patient waiting. The layers are fun to peel back and examine one at a time: The pinpoint lead guitar hook, the bass answering the lead guitar, and the crunchy supportive guitar, All pulled together with a minimal drum beat. As the song moves forward, abandoning the initial melodies for bigger and more crashing sections, the intervals repeat, the momentum continues to grow and the speed builds. It then dumps us off right where the song begins with the guitar and echoing effects layered underneath. The last minute of the song builds a wall of sound until it falls away with a couple final notes.
