Saw these guys perform with Isis and Zozobra the other night and I think they stole the show. They sound a lot like the band Hum to me-- very atmospheric textures with a ton of guitar feedback. They're like My Bloody Valentine but with 3x the heaviness.

 

Too cool.

I keep thinking this is a typo. Link to their site or myspace?

Not bad at all. The instrumentals kind of remind me of Sigur Ros.

Considering I like my Sigur Ros, I'll take that as a compliment.

i think they sucked live. they're much better on cd. i would blame the acoustics, but isis sounded as they should've. out of the four times i've seen isis, that was the best show they've done.

Alright the new album isn't too shabby.

 

The vocals are mixed low as fuck.

As for the sigur ros comment. I can see what you are saying...but pretty much all post-rock (or post-rock influenced) stuff has pretty much the same sound.

 

build-up for 5-20 minutes ...then Climax.

I was really concerned those cats weren't going to make it to Toronto on tour. So glad I got the chance to see 'em. All three bands put on an awesome set, though. The fact that they played Friends are Evil made me wobbly-kneed.

My girlfriend and I were pretty constrained on time, so I was terrified we wouldn't make it in time for Zozobra. We walked in and they were already onstage, and Caleb Scofield was saying, "Thanks. We're Zozobra...." So I was thinking we'd missed most of their set.

 

Anyrate, they went into Soon to Follow, which made me damned fucking happy. They went on to play The Blessing, Levitate, Kill & Crush and Caldera (Which was incredible) - I think they might've played Invisible Wolves too, but I can't completely recall. So I guess we missed, maybe, a song or two. But yeah, they did a great job. They definitely have a more raw live sound. Some of the vocal harmonies on the album seemed a bit too clean, so it was nice to hear a bit more roughshod vocalizing from the other guys in the band. Plus, the guitars were a bit higher in the mix.

 

So yeah, they pretty much kicked ass.

Alright, after listening through their discography a few times...I enjoy Jesu quite a bit.

 

They don't stack up to some older shoegazing bands but they bring some cool stuff to the table.

 

Too bad the price of cds are shit though, I would pick up conqueror.
