DESCRIPTION:
Heads up, I've a few things to say.

There's a certain backlog of favourites I want to upload. However, the tacks found on my channel help me keep astride current music (i.e. much drone and hypnagogic pop among them) so I haven't revisited 'oldies'. Here's a track from an album I used to spin all the time a few years ago. Lynx's S/T album is a monument to guitar/bass/drum.

From the blog Math & Noise, "The album is entirely instrumental, but retains a narrative throughout. Similar to a Don Cab record like American Don in the sense that it offers a pleasant mix of mathy elements and melody. Yet unlike Don Cab, Lynx never loses focus of its themes, and never becomes so cluttered. It is a clean math album. It is deliberate. There are angular and dissonant moments, but they are rare and brief. It is a math record mostly on it's creative and versatile use of rhythms, driven by excellent drumming. From beginning to end it is an ideal illustration of the limitless capacity of the guitar/bass/drum genre, composed with a vengeful sense of discipline to achieve epic ends."

I tend to agree :) This post comes courtesy of a recent Soulseek find. I grabbed something titled "the lynx ep" from a nice fella and gave it a spin. This is the fist of three songs and it's titled 'Nighthush', but on the S/T album the same track is listed as # 8, 'Prynx'. Spin 'em back to back and you'll see. This one sounds like an earlier mix - the final mastering being harder and more authoritative. It's cool to have found the dirtier side of Lynx.

After some digging I found the album listed on Lynx's myspace.
Pic is from their S/T LP.
