This Will Destroy You is a hyperbole with a wink, but only slightly. Masters of the thrash-y guitar climax borne of humble, pensive expositions, there's a lot to blow your hair back, and if you just had a messy break-up or a secondary relative die, you're probably going to be more susceptible to actual - albeit, temporary - destruction by the moving instrumental anthems they craft. Post-rock standard bearers in waiting, TWDY's music is well-executed, emotionally compelling without the melodrama of their navel-gazing, delay pedal abusing brethren. It's wonderful stuff, and well worth coming out to
The Hideout to see this evening. Fellow instrumentalists
Balmorhea, some of the most sincere dudes you've ever met fashioning some of the
most beautiful music you've ever heard, precede. Wondering what they sound like, but too lazy to follow links? Well, if Marfa, TX had a soundtrack, these guys would be on it. Like
three times. As if this bill needed another awesome musician,
Bexar Bexar - yet another fantastic, sought-after performer birthed from this breadbasket of reflective songcraft - opens with his austere ambience. This confluence of such massive talent is a rare thing, and not to be missed.
