MySpace a place for friends

"We’re suckers for a good Lost reference, so when we stumbled across a band named Henry Gale while skipping through the fields of MySpace, we approached their music with the same cautious optimism any Lost fan accords another on first meeting. It paid off: these guys are good. Like many post-rock bands, Henry Gale (an instrumental four-piece specializing in post-rocky bombast à la Explosions in the Sky or our own Common Cold) just love guitars that veer between twinkling loopage and soaring textures. Unlike many post-rock bands, they don’t take forever getting to the part that rocks, they do it from the get-go." - Michael Brodeur, The Boston Phoenix

"Really good spacerock but akin to American Analog Set instead of Gsybe! More happy and summery than whispy, windsweaped." - The Reverend, Return to the Pit

"For obvious reasons, the post-rock section of my music library isn’t one that I often break out when having a few drinks with friends. Henry Gale’s debut 5 track EP Other Voices is an album that seems to do its damndest to break that mold — almost reaching through the confines of my headphones to mingle throughout the room and meet new people." - Bradley, Sound As Language

"Henry Gale's first effort leaves you with a slightly loop feeling, an ethereal sort of contentedness that could develop into the band's signature sound." - Dan Weber, Performer Magazine

"The music seems much more uplifting and hopeful than the typical post-rock shoegaze. This is quite a refreshing change of pace from the heavier, angst-ridden bombast of a lot of bands that do this kind of music. Listening to these five songs made my ears smile today." - Joel Simches, The Noise
