Semistereo
Trans Earth Injection
'Semistereo plays a fine form of alternative rock, with elements of post rock and progressive rock fused to a fairly recognizable style of their own. 'The Search' is a fine melodic track with amazing vocal parts and a dreamy atmosphere, already presented on the previous EP, but with Loneliness At The Door Semistereo totally hits bullseye, Paul's vocals are right on the spot, tasteful and emotional. The guitars working the composition, there for creating the atmosphere and never overly prominent. The instrumental €35 Special, really is a special track, the post rock soundscape is loaded with samples of spoken parts, what is absolutely amazing about this track is the addition of Tomas Cochranes horns. The powerful parts of The Storm Behind Your Eyes and the style of this track remind me of another Dutch band; A Liquid Landscape, a band I highly regard. Semistereo blends those powerful parts with their more smooth melodic parts and creates a wonderful song. During Your Drama, Paul Glandorf 's vocals get some extra dramatics, resulting in a more bombastic kind of post rock composition. The final track Sin is a fine track that lasts over ten minutes and proves the bands growth since the previous album. A very mature track that like the rest of the album is perfectly mixed by Jochem Jacobs, known from his work for Textures." - Backgroundmagazine.nl
