Another Language

This beguiling instrumental band from Texas have dismissed the many attempts others have made trying to label them, though the phrase \"doomgaze\" did strike at least one member’s fancy. Members have come and gone since their 2005 debut EP, and their sound has altered with every change. Yet there’s also a sense that if their music could be put into words, then it wouldn’t need to be music. *Another Language* is considered This Will Destroy You\'s fourth album. As its title states, they\'re operating on a different playing field than many of their contemporaries. There are no quick hooks or vocals, and atmospheres generally dominate their intentions. A track like “Mother Opiate” is sublime, with any rhythmic element obscured to keep up the veil of sound. “Invitation,” however, follows with an immediate drum track and guitars that can be distinguished from other instruments, with notes that ring out distinctly and with purpose. The production is powerful and never shortchanges the spotless execution. The band\'s interest in metal is subdued in comparison to the \"gaze\" aspects, making their music very much their own. 

Since 2004, This Will Destroy You has been forging some of the world's most brutal, dynamic, and precariously visceral instrumental rock. In addition to a vigorous tour schedule, their celebrated discography and critically renowned soundtrack work for feature films and documentaries have earned them a sizable and fervent international following. Another Language, TWDY's fourth full length LP, marks their euphonious return from a prolonged vacuous dark period that threatened to break both the band and the members themselves. Rather than be stifled by their experience TWDY were atomized and subsequently made anew, emerging with a revived energy and reinforced sense of solidarity. As a result, Another Language captures the band at its most potent, honed, and utterly powerful form yet, displaying an edified unity and graduated sense of song-writing, tonal complexity, and studio prowess.

Amidst their post-rock peers, San Marcos quartet This Will Destroy You have always been their own act, coming across as weirder, darker, and noisier. On their fourth album, Another Language, they move further away from post-rock into something that's cut-up and quietly experimental while maintaining a strong emotional pull.

The kind of no-holds-barred heavy rock sound that Mogwai made their own, but taken a step further.
