The Glass Bottom Boat
Resonant
POST ROCK
’The Glass Bottom Boat’ is the long-awaited debut from San Francisco’s CARTA, now with members of CHARLES ATLAS & SUBTLE surrounding core member Kyle Monday. The album is mostly instrumental, predominantly downtempo but with emphasis on melody & songwriting.
ALLMUSIC “...like many fine bands before it -- JOY DIVISION, LOW, MOGWAI among others -- Carta seeks to use rock band instrumentation to emphasize reflective mood rather than simply traditional performance. Unlike many other predominantly instrumental rock acts of recent years, , Carta are blessedly free of the go-nowhere dullardry that ended up giving post-rock a bad name.”
THE SILENT BALLET “Like a plot-twisting film or novel identifiable by its lush characters, the album offers a whirlpool of listening experiences over time, each one laced with the promise of a new discovery.”
