Picking right up where the The Cast Before the Break's highly-regarded EP "As Your Shoulders Turn On You" left off, Still conjures up images frozen in time...those important still-frame moments forever locked in your mind that refuse to fade. Following a more structured, considered path that finds just as much comfort in the delicate moments of a song than the whirling, western showdowns of distortion, tempo shifts and and cathartic build-and-releases, the album shows layers of depth and marks a noteworthy progression for a band with much to say. Vocalist TJ Foster sings with fervent intensity, "And like the silence I surround you / I pull apart the seams / And separate the sound..." and you feel that exact, captivating rawness to each track. Produced by Mike Lapierre (Brand New, Death Cab For Cutie, Dropkick Murphys) and mastered by Mike Kalajian (Moving Mountains), Still strives for balance, exploring post-rock elements while at the same time finding the value of a powerful melody over distorted guitars, crossing genre lines and consistently tugging at your emotions. This is an album that lingers long after the final notes of TCBTB echo away.
