专辑简介

Joy Wants Eternity are a Seattle-based instrumental rock group and You Who Pretend To Sleep is the band’s mightily impressive debut record. The band plays gorgeously shimmering instrumental pieces much in the vein of bands like Mogwai and Explosions In The Sky. While the band may not be mining the most original territory, You Who Pretend To Sleep rises far above the gob of bands playing this style... The ebb and flow of the band’s music washes over you in wave after addictive wave. Whether it comes from glorious shards of guitar feedback or from the layers of effects and keyboards, the band sucks you in at every nimble twist and turn. Joy Wants Eternity manages to keep your attention with a diverse array of instrumentation and textures while still maintaining an incredibly cohesive sound throughout. This speaks to the composition skills of the members and makes it even more impressive that this is only the band’s debut full-length.
