Kestrels are a hybrid of straight-up pop and unsophisticated soundscape-ery. They’re sloppy as all hell, but the best part of them is how little that matters. Kestrels is clearly making music they enjoy and they’re having a good time doing it. This comes across vividly on “There All the Time Without You.” More music should translate this way. It almost hurts when you hear a band that is trying too hard to impress you; Kestrels will get the job done without lifting a finger.

by teepoo What an awkwardly long week. Just started 3rd term of school and the schedule’s pretty hectic but no worries I have tons of downtime and “bored in class time” to keep this blog updated. Now without further ramblings here’s your weekly single song post chart based on YOUR views.

Thanks to Herohill, I won a copy of the Kestrels 7″ The Soloist. It’s 4 tracks that you really got to hear and appreciate on vinyl with perfect mixes of shoegaze, distortion and fast drums. Take a listen to What Happens.
