No musical genre has quite had the history that post-rock has had. In its short lifetime, it has been both kissed and cuddled, slapped and beaten; once the favorite pet of underground music critics and indie kids alike, it’s now regarded as an old dog with no new tricks, with just about every new post-rock release being cast off as “predictable” and “boring”. We can all see those explosive guitars from a mile away, and when they come around, they just don’t hit us in quite the same way they used to.
Unfortunately, it’s attitudes like this that cause some absolutely amazing records that introduce totally new things to the post-rock table (such as last year’s Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn by Do Make Say Think, one of the best albums ever in my opinion) to go largely unnoticed, or receive less praise than they would have in an earlier era. Tulsa Drone’s debut CD, No Wake, is another great post-rock album that probably won’t get much recognition in music circles due to the collective post-rock withdrawal, but is worth seeking out for its unique sound.
What’s interesting about Tulsa Drone is the mood of their music and their choice of instrumentation. Using little more than a bass hammer dulcimer, wiry guitars, and crashing drums, they manage to elevate what would otherwise be fairly standard post-rock songs into a unique, cinematic realm of music that few other bands could touch. It’s music that’s both as dry and scorching as a desert, and as lonely and mysterious as a wintry forest at night. There’s certainly something sinister going on here, and the amount of tension is incredible.
