Product Description

YE5SELS ~ WHITE FIElDS AND OPEN DEVICES
(CUCKUNDOO)
8/10
It takes a while, but when it hits - two minutes into
the colossal 'Look At That Cloud!' when the sunburst
guitars detonate and you realise the last 38 minutes of your life have dissolved - it becomes clear this Leeds quintet have produced a quite brilliant work of art. Between
'A Hundred Times In Every Direction''s rolling thunder and the tinkle of 'Walking Through walls', Vessels show
cataclysmic dynamics and a battering ram approach to melody can still thrill when Japanese noise-merchants Envy already own the genre. And in closers 'Two Words & A Gesture' and 'Wave Those Arms, Airmen' they have two trump cards to convert even the most vehement unbeliever. Ben Patashnlk

The Word, September 2008
VESSELS
White Fields And Open Devices
Cuckundoo Records
Empty Vessels make the most noise? They certainly do here
With Foals bringing their fiddly math rock to the masses and Sigur Ros soundtracking any programme with an animal
in it, Vessels have chosen a good time to join the pack. The shifting dynamics of their slow-building epics, all crashing climaxes and layered guitar effects, may sound rather familiar, but stick around and this album reveals itself in all manner of thrilling ways. Vessels are effectively an instrumental band with metal-like guitars, though not afraid to surprise with sudden gorgeous harmonies on Walking Through Walls or a burst of
explosive electronics on album closer Wave Those Arms, Airmen (the most post-rock song title ever?) .. With two
drummers and a guitar sound to terrify Metallica, this young Leeds five-piece have produced a debut of impressive
power. JAMIE BOWMAN

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Eclectic, 21 Oct 2008
By MICHAEL MCVEY "fairfielder" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this album off the back of hearing 'Yuki' being played by Guy Garvey on BBC 6, and excellent piece of electronica with a vocal laid over the top. However, must tracks have a mix of guitars and drums, but altogehter an excellent album, i would heartily recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Post rock with a twist, 28 Aug 2008
By Zendude (London) - See all my reviews
Ok so there is so many post rock bands now that, some bands are just carbon copies, of Explosions in the sky or Mogwai.
Thankfully Vessels aren't one of these, they could fall in to post rock thing, though there is some excellent vocals, they could also fall in to progressive rock with a touch of old jazz, and a splashing of electronic music, you can't really pigeon hole them.
The album stars with Alter beast, starts pretty full on, lots of layers, very loopy guitar riffs, fat sounding complex bass, and absolutely wonderful driving drumming( actually one of the best drummers I have ever seen), the song builds with layers just as you think here we go, normal chaos post rock thing, they drop back down, then drop in a heavy bit, back out again, then it launches into such beautiful but heavy guitar lines, this is Vessels, God damn original.
Every song on this album is different, different structures, tempos,short songs, long songs, and on 1st listen you just don't know where these songs are going, actually after 6 listens you still get surprised and lost.The track 'Trois heures' has so many changes yet is so fluid, from one part to the next.
Not a bad track, not even close, in years to come this will a classic reissued and remastered CD( though it is excellently recorded) it was produced my John Congleton who did the Explosions in the Sky albums.
Stand out tracks 'Trois heures','Happy Accident', 'Idle brain and Devils workshop' and 'Look at that cloud'.
I first saw this band supporting another band I went to see, and when Vessels came on, myself and my good buddy, were overwhelmed, the thing is Vessels produce this sound live as well.
Even though at times there are 3 guitars, bass and drums you can still hear everything clearly, the melodies shine through, at times there is even two drummers.
So if you like Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Oceansize, Tool, Sigur Ros, God is an Astronaut, This will destroy you ( who they supported and blew 'This will Destroy' you off the stage, I found this will Destroy very samey and had the worst image ever, good albums though), Jakob,65 Days of Static you will love this.
Buy it today and enjoy
Classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Debut That Really Hits the Spot, 21 Feb 2009
By C. Skinner (Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is as an assured debut album as you are likely to hear.

It takes a little bit from many different genres and puts them together to create an album of impressive power with some quieter reflective moments.

Some of the climaxes to these songs are breathtaking, the powerful guitar riff's reaching cresecendo after crescendo. In a genre filled with many derivative bands, Vessels really do bring something new to the table.

The best tracks are A Hundred Times in Every Direction, An Idle Brain & The Devils Workshop, Yuki, and my personal favourite Trois Heures. The huge epic breakdown towards the end of Trois Heures is brilliant, and everytime I hear it, I feel slightly lifted...

Another cracking album in a British music scene thats saturated by rubbish, thankfully there is still some original and talented people making music like this.
