A couple of recent Truck Festival reviews for you:

'From Light To Sound, the band I did catch, fluidly surfing over the debris of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, would be just the tip of the iceberg. When the time comes to settle down, who's to blame if you're not around?

Guesting the Truck festival this weekend, I took disc two of a limited edition hand-made fifty set. It's a CD that presents hard-wearing, at points krautrock kismet, climaxing with the adorable riff-tastic "Compliance", which at one turn presents post-rock with an ambient punch, later flipping the script of a nondescript, woodpecker tick-tock metronome, giving you that "everything's going to be alright" adulation in bucketloads. They don't play swings and roundabouts, whereby you're not sitting through 15 minutes of tedious trolling for replies - From Light To Sound are weavers of strong heart, twisting the ventricles into fluid musical ribbons, and necessary electricity. As put on their grubby, shredded-pencil riff-beavering, "No, You Listen". There's reason for sound, now there's reason for light. Shine it over here, will you.'

'From Light to Sound were the next really satisfying musical experience of the day.  These unassuming-looking chaps peddle a pleasingly powerful line in shoegaze-cum-post-rock, the main influences being the holy trinity of ‘M’s (Mogwai, My Bloody Valentine, erm (Jesus and) Mary Chain), with an undercurrent of kraut discernable in the occasional motorik beat.  A song “based on an argument with our old guitarist” is suitably full of ire, and when their set ends, in the normally dance-oriented Beat-Hive tent, it feels premature.'
