"Saxon Shore is an American post-rock band consisting of members from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Brooklyn, New York. The group has thus far released four albums on Burnt Toast Vinyl: one packaged as an EP (Luck Will Not Save Us...) and three as full-lengths, although all (with the exception of The Exquisite Death of...) have only featured anywhere from five to seven songs.

Saxon Shore's overall sound has been compared to Caspian, Explosions in the Sky, Boards of Canada, and God is an Astronaut."

  2. WHy must Post-Rock bands have such pretentious names for their songs? Feels like they're trying to tell you what to feel. With that out of the way, I love the music, very beautiful and moving, also very powerful. Great atmosphere too. This thing is as good as it gets. Sorry for all this mess with my comments, just now I got struck by what this reminded me of: Jesu. Holy lord, this has the same atmosphere Jesu has, with an even more beautiful execution.
