Don't you love it when a band comes along and just fucks your entire world up? Everyone was telling me I needed to hear this little British instrumental band Talons; that they will will change the way I feel about post-rock. Well yeah, pretty much they were right. Hollow Realms feels like a celebration and is quite distinctively one of the most solid debuts i've heard in a while. is a breath of fresh air to a genre that has kind of worn me out. The band has elements of russian circles and a hawk and a handsaw, but in all right ways; the subtlety in which they use these elements makes for a bright and aggressive record. They sound huge, without sounding epic; a term that's overused when describing instrumental music. They sound mathy without being alienating and over completing; a problem that continues to plague most math rock bands. Talons is a band that gets straight to the point Their frantic riffs are complimented by swooning strings and pounding horns.
