Mio/duct Hearts
Split
one song each band, DUCT HEARTS (ex Wishes on a Plane) play an unbelievingly detailed and passionate 6+ minutes song with a fairly long and soft postrockish dreamy guitar introduction, when the whole band sets in you get a twinkly verse/refrain with airy, softly sung vocals that have been compared to Elliott's final album Song in the Air. When suddenly the band stops it gives space to a powerful climax, starting with clean guitars and calm and fragile yet beautiful vocals turning into thick palm muted guitars escorted by accentuated drumbeats to a desperately screamed wish for being home. they stop. they break out into a instrumental wall of sound, full of guitars and melodies, stopping again leaving you asking for more. dh have been compared to Logh, Montreal on Fire or Mineral gone postrock. MIO is a very likeable guitar/drums duo whose noisy, direct sound has been compared to (most obviously) Her Breath on Glass or Indian Summer. They combine super silent parts with very trashy, dirty outbreaks with screamed male/female vocals. You get a melodic, downbeat, screamo brooder that bursts into a harsh vocals part way through.
