Lambs Become Lions - Ghosts Of A Fallen Soldier (Rock/Post Rock)
Alright let me set the scene for you, last week a buddy of mine went to a show here in St. Catharines, and proceeded to get so drunk he forgot to pick up an album for me, the album was by local legends, Lambs Become Lions. I had heard of them maybe two days before, I was drawn in by their song Lake Ontario a ballad of love found and lost on the shores of our inland sea. It clicked, I could swear that it was written for me, for the nights spent watching love set against the beach, and wondering what it was that I did right, and wrong. Emotion aside, said song is on their Cicada EP which is not available for download as of yet but that and their song Small Town Dreams are available on their Facebook page for the great price of free, just a little incentive to do some digging. But if you have a craving for post rock with a hint of electronic then we have something you might enjoy, Ghosts of A Fallen Soldier, their (I believe) first studio album. Although sadly lacking the folky vocals of their newer tunes it still gets its point across in droning guitars and progressive drums patterns, and is a must download for anyone who fancies themselves a connoisseur of fine music. For a small city band you can't get better.
hey there, ghost of a fallen soldier is in fact by another band. Cicada is our first release. That said this review really touches on the whole feel of LBL as a band. We want people to relate and explore, thank you so much for writing this. Our new e.p. entitled "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" is due out in november of 2012 at which point we will make both EP's available for download.
PS. i'm glad you were able to relate to lake ontario, the song definitely sparks a lot of nostalgia for all of us as well.
