THE REVIEW
Evocative name for a group of strummers.
Don't take me for lazy, even if I am, but I don't intend to waste too many unnecessary words to describe what I consider a 2002 masterpiece by this group of young (some more, some less) people from Texas.
An instrumental album of notable craftsmanship, Mogwai-like sounds but less gloomy, a few more rays of sunshine and many sounds that tend to blend without ever becoming trite or clichéd... tracks that I believe will appeal to fans of the genre and will engage them to listen and listen again with the terrible feeling of missing something...
losing track...
press play again...

By Corsina
A journey into a surreal dimension where a delicate, languid, and dreamy soundscape envelops and engages the senses in a kind of dreamlike suspension.
Unmissable for lovers of the genre.
By Pandalillo
"First Breath After Coma makes the band’s project clear; the territory to explore is that of rock and the possible uses of its canonical instrumentation."
"Post-rock, the inspired one, innovative in some ways, ends here, the rest is truly boredom!"
