GREGOR SAMSA (London Luminaire, 27/01/09)



Whilst never threatening to overturn the structural conservatism of the post-rock genre, there’s no doubting that Gregor Samsa are one of the more worthy practitioners of the art. Violins and oboes lend warmth to the obligatory clinical guitars and rattling snare drum, and when they finally hit their clattering, cacophonic climaxes they’re as good as Explosions In The Sky, although they sometimes took too long to get there.
