Hey all--

I read an interesting review of the band Aleutian's _Frame Dragging_
(Esque label), and wanted to see if anyone could recommend them?  The
review makes comparisons to David Lynch's style of films.  Here's a
representative sample:

"Although Aleutian employs numerous samples from artists such as Aphex
Twuin and Massive Attack, its music maintains an organic quality tha tmany
electronically enhanced acts find difficult to achieve.  Much of the
credit for this accomplishment goes to singer/guitarist Brad Prenda, whose
phychedelic guitar work overpowers the ambient backdrops.  The groups dual
drummers, Onur Birsen and Steve Dobkowski, interact to powers Aleutian's
rhymthmically unique choruses and counter melodies.

"Because the of the group's complex song structures and dreamy sound,
songs such as 'Madbury' can approach seven minutes without overstaying
their welcome....  Aleutian should attract the ears of a diverse grou of
music enthusiasts, with fans of Portishead, Pink Floyd and Sonic Youth all
likely to be impressed by _Frame Dragging_."

Anyone actually heard this album?

Allan.
