From Our Living Room To Yours

As a warm-up of our soon following big post-rock post, let's give the boys from The American Analog Set a listen. Them boys from Texas are bringing us a mixture of downtempo indie-rock with sometimes a small post-rockish hint, making music that they themselves call "living room music". This name is quite appropriate because it's not something that abruptly absorbs your attention, it just creates a nice mood which lets you drift off and gives you something to think about.

Since 1995 these guys have made 6 full-albums, releasing their last one, 'Set Free', in 2005. They ofcourse did a lot of touring, but recently the members are on some kind of semi-break and are concentrating more on their own projects and lives. So sadly, they won't be doing big tours anymore, which means you're a lucky man when you can get to see one of their '5 a year' shows. Lets just hope they bring out some new material once a while.
