\"image\" There are some times in life when you look for a soundtrack to accompany your day that isn\u2019t too loud, too fast, or too in your face and I may have found my answer to this in the form of \u2019Pyramids\u2019<\/em>, the debut full-length by (Damn) This Desert Air<\/strong>. This post-rock\/alt outfit conjure up a series of tracks that have that oomph, yet do it in a very suave and subtle manner.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, it took a couple of listens of \u2019Pyramids\u2019<\/em> to fully get it, but believe me if you\u2019re patient enough then you soon begin to realise that (Damn) This Desert air<\/strong> are in fact bloody brilliant. There\u2019s a definite ambience about the record, one that you get sucked into, leading you off into your own dream-like state, calming and mellow. From \u2019Slave’<\/em> to instrumental \u2019Segue\u2019,<\/em> the band serve up a dish of exquisitely soothing rock tracks, pleasant and definitely easy on the ear.<\/p>\n

Progressing into the ballsy \u2019Egypt\u2019<\/em> and \u2019Cyclone\u2019<\/em>, an energy-fuelled side of (Damn) This Desert Air<\/strong> appears, throwing into the mix a larger dose of character. This really ups their game, delivering a series of infectious, lose-yourself-in-the-music style tracks; definitely ones to sink your teeth into.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u2019Pyramids\u2019<\/em> journeys to and from melodies that deliver both calmer and energetic efforts, producing a full-length that twists and turns at the appropriate moments; experimenting with their genre in a charming and polished manner. Believe me when I say that (Damn) This Desert Air<\/strong> are worth your time, because if like me at first you aren\u2019t quite sold, you will be after a couple of listens. You\u2019ll thank yourself for taking the time to do so; a great record by a great band.<\/p>\n
