Montreal quintet LAE evolved out of the late-nineties post-rock scene, seeking to distance themselves from the established conventions of rock music as well as the trappings of the various alternative sub-genres (emo, stoner rock, etc.). Not without irony, trace elements of many of those persist in their sound, itself a peculiarly familiar presence, as varied as it is satisfying. Nods to the likes of Three Mile Pilot, Swans, and Slint will surely not go unnoticed, but LAE's total is far greater than the sum of its influences. Scathing, desperate and heartbreaking vocal sentiments (courtesy of moonlighting Today is the Day leader, Steve Austin) set against richly layered backdrops, both amplified and acoustic, melodic and deafening.
