Originally released as a CDEP by Amnot Records in May of 2007, Faces In The Architecture’s post-rock reverb, dynamic time signatures and swelling atmospherics owes much to bands like Explosions In The Sky, but the warm textures, experimentation and earnest vocals tend to evoke indie rock heroes such as Built To Spill and The Appleseed Cast. Building The State is both dynamic and moving while simultaneously weaving a subtle backdrop of mesmerizing sound. You can stream a few tracks on the band’s myspace page.
