Description:
"This group has...accomplished with analog synths what Sigur Ros and Godspeed have been doing with guitar and strings. Play this back to back with the recent Brian Eno, and notice how this latest batch of postrockers has improved on a time-tested formula with expansive, hypnotic textures, much warmer and lusher than anything the father of ambient music has done in decades.." // grooves "A Difficult Future will grab you by the throat and dare you not to become enveloped in The Timeout Drawer's blanket of supersonic sound. (They) prove themselves to be adept noisemongers whose fractured sense of restrained beauty and ethereal melody is eclipsed only by their stunning songcraft and instrumental ingenuity." // splendidezine.com "The Timeout Drawer is a puzzling, obscure, odd band that creates delightfully bright and peculiar...music. The tunes on A Difficult Figure are obtuse, slightly confusing, and strangely calming...these guys constantly push limits and test the listener. This is progressive instrumental pop for free-floating intellectuals...REALLY nice." // imnop.com "The Timeout Drawer carves a niche of their own, thanks to thoughtful integration of electronics with live instruments, subtle mood shifts that give each track its own identity, and a patient ardor for adventure without overstaying their welcome...Moog aficionados will be enchanted by the band's deft Moog implementation. " outburn magazine "You've heard this type of Moogy, melancholy analog buzz before - from the Cure up to contemporary Chicago post-rock. The Timeout Drawer's synths and guitar atop the gentle drumming are as fragile as Mogwai's softer, more melodic moments. While these types of songs may be familiar, you've also returned to the same bed countless times, and that doesn't make it any less warm and comfortable a place to rest. " XLR8R magazine |
