The Makai
Preston and I went to The Makai show at Monstros last night.
La Fin Du Monde was first, and they're good. It's an interesting sound-scape that builds toward epic crescendos interspersed with drops back to simple, mellow melodic arrangements.
My only discrepancy was that they didn't ever hit the peak crescendo you are led to believe they are going to hit.
At crucial moments they back off from the moment where you think your ears are going to explode in musical epiphany and bliss. Other than that, good stuff.
