KOE – Stem The Tide (Sacred Cow) - Instrumental post-prog guitar musical adventure for fans of Isis, Godspeed, Red Sparrows and such. Raw edged and full of spirited bite, Stem The Tide is played with the heart and passion that far too often is lost in the technical over-slickness of others. Colour, adventure, tempo changing light and shade, a live raw (not too raw) warmth and a real feel. Sometimes considered and dark, minimal and slowly paced, sometimes chopping and changing, euphoric and touching on the epic when they need to, experimental when they feel that's right. Koe aren't doing anything remarkable different here, what they are doing they're doing just right and in these overcrowded instrumental post rock times when every crusty indie kid with a guitar and a Don Cab album thinks they can do it, Koe have made an album that is more than worth your time and their effort. Koe have a punk/metal bite when they need it, they take you all over the post-rock spectrum without every letting you down and leaving you with a feeling that they're just copying others.. Koe can touch your emotion, they can sooth, they can lift... This is a good album, this is a sometimes very impressive album (neat artwork as well, the front over art deserves a mention). Koe are a London based international collaboration with members from France, Slovenia, Japan and the UK and this self released DIY album is well worth tracking down.
