"Vespertine" is the musical score that This Will Destroy You composed for Chef Jordan Kahn's 2-Michelin Star restaurant of the same name. The score originally ran exclusively at the physical site of the restaurant in Culver City, California since its grand opening in late 2017. The program consists of seven pieces specifically written for moments within the building itself (and even the space around and on top of it).
This Will Destroy You are an instrumental post-rock quartet from San Marcos, Texas. Given where they’re from and what kind of music they make, it’s hard not to compare them to a band like Explosions In The Sky. But This Will Destroy You are a very different sort of band. They’re heavier and more experimental, and while their music can tug on your heartstrings from time to time, they’re more interested in bulldozing you with the enormity of their sound. And now they suddenly have a whole lot more of that sound…
This Patch of Sky is an Oregon instrumental post rock band, formed in 2010 in Eugene. The band consists of Kit Day (guitar), Joshua Carlton (guitar), Joel Erickson (bass), Nate Trowbridge (drums), and Alex Abrams (cello). The band typically composes cinematic instrumental pieces that combine subtle-nuanced melodies and wall-of-sound guitars to create a symphonic landscape.
This Patch of Sky: "We play music without words to communicate without language."
Shodai: "This is my first album entitled 'Horizons'. It's a mix of 'This will destroy you' ambiance and i suppose 'NIN' tech rock, some cloudkicker thrown in for color! If you want to find a genre for it."
