Excerpt – The aphorism “Patience is a Virtue” is applicable in many facets of life, and none more so than in the post-rock genre. Mogwai’s extreme climaxes would not retain half their efficacy without having patiently brooded on a theme for several minutes prior. The Six Parts Seven’s delicate chiming would not be as beautiful without patiently allowing silence to build anticipation until the next engaging melody. The Slow Dancing Society implements this tenet with striking maturity to create lush soundscapes and ethereal tones on their first full-length album The Sound of Lights When Dim.
