ps: here is some stuff about tracer amc..
"Tracer amc use repeated guitar and bass melodies to create stunning sound
structures and the release of the pelican e.p. on Errol Records sees the band expand
its array of sounds to include glockenspiel and violin; this release has been
likened to beauty of Tristeza, Low, Mercury Rev, My Bloody Valentine & Mogwai."
Drowned in sound magazine review of Pelican e.p
"Its a cold, dark night. You see your breath in the air as you walk through
the streets. The stars above you twinkle and youre full of hope. No words
could sum up how you feel; this is where Tracer AMC come in. Think the glorious
understatement of Low, the obvious instrumental similarity with Mogwai but more
so the increased orchestral development of the Come On Die Young album, the
twinkling pianos of Mercury Rev (although youll have to imagine those pianos
sounding like glockenspiels). Add a touch of Galaxie 500 and youll have the
dream-worthy tracks of Tracer AMC. Magical"
Record Collector review of the Pelican e.p
"Join us, if you will, in the murky yet beguiling world of Tracer AMC. What the
music or the band's name means, we know not, but both sound pretty darn good.
It's an worn-out comparison, but if you're partial to the quiet side of Mogwai,
then this should be right up your street.
The band claim to be part of a nu-gazing movement, but that's doing themselves
a disservice, we feel. The shuffling beats halfway through, when the song
changes direction completely, make for a varied listen much more worthy than
the meandering indulgence of so many other miserable indie types
