  • Bio

    "Although many, many bands have tried to inject vocals into the instrumental post-rock framework, few have succeeded in creating truly noteworthy albums. Scandinavia has long been a place that has been more interested in vocal-supported post-rock than other areas; we've already seen bands like Scraps of Tape, September Malevolence, and Efterklang increase the prominence of vocals in their music, and The Samuel Jackson Five continues to flirt with the idea. However, it's Norway's Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson, back from a quite extended hiatus, that is stealing the show. The band returns in grand gesture, offering a double album of immense appeal (both musically and packaging-wise) that shall keep listeners entertained for hours at a time. Youth Pictures hasn't abandoned its previous post-rock inclinations, but rather it has somehow found a way to slip in the illusive vocals into its long, emotive compositions without disrupting the serene balancing act. The result? Nothing short of spectacular." - The Silent Ballet
