The Sky Has Yet To Fall Down


Post War Years play surprisingly digestible math rock which we've been fans of since about 2005, seriously. They played an album launch at Lexington in London on Tuesday night, and we went along to take it in. Sporting some incredibly floppy hair, they move around the stage with overwhelming energy, smiles all round. Compared to the production values on their debut album, they come across surprisingly well live. Clear synths slicing through angular guitar and strong drums, layered with impassioned vocals and distinctive basslines. Add to their great live show the fact that Lexington is such a fantastic venue to spend the evening in, and you're on to a winning combination.
