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.'
