STOKE SOUNDS
Iye, spelt with a deliberately small ‘i’, are different yet again; creating complex and lengthy soundscapes rather than offer than a selection of songs; taking the use of musical light and shade into new and exciting territory. Joined by MS Thomason for the duration of their two-number set, this seven-piece build on their creations layer-by-layer; section-by-section; adding on and taking away as the atmosphere takes on shapes from the stridently heavy to the ethereally sublime. It was commented to me at the gig that iye’s compositions can be compared to undertaking a musical journey; a comment I wholeheartedly agree with. Some fine vocals add to the general appeal of their works and the standard of musicianship was impressive all round. Great drumming from Cara Beech and I can only assume that MS Thomason must have been standing in on second guitar as their myspace profile suggests a member of their normal line-up was missing. A very impressive set, nonetheless.
WELIKEDANGER Records
IYE are from a little room in fenton called the eves. thats where they jam out their swirling post rock sounds and epic vocal harmonies. imagine low if they had a few more members and a few more pedals.

Iye are a 7 peice Post Rock guitar orchestra from Stoke On Trent, although still relatively new in the gigging scene, they offer gob smackingly huge washes of layered guitar swirls which are sure to pull the heart strings of any Post Rock veteran. They are a band that tick all the right boxes when it comes to musical influences but best of all they put all these influences together in their onstage performances which just get better and better.
so far we have shared a stage with: this will destroy you, yndi halda, snowden, una corda, m s thomason, a genuine freakshow, mills & boon, the hubble constant, bossk, nothus, krupskaya, herzoga, cove, after the last sky & manatees
