Lawrence Person's Futuramen

Terminal Sound System is the latest incarnation of Skye Klein, who I first encountered A Beautiful Machine, whose “Breathe in Space” has been ensconced in my personal top 10 list ever since. On “Lords Of The Living, Masters Of The Dead,” the heavy side of A Beautiful Machine (see, for example, “Home”) get’s slowed down for a doom-laden piece hailing from the netherworld between Shoegaze, Post-Rock, and Doom/Depressive Metal for a sound that reminds me of Talking Heads’ “The Overload” with a bit of acid rock thrown in for good measure.

A most appropriate sound for a band whose name suggests the end of all things (though I could do without the hippie ashram bit in the late middle…).
