Brightblack Morning Light

"This past weekend, I got a chance to see Brightblack Morning Light in Austin, Texas. It was such a wonderful experience to finally see them perform. Motion To Rejoin came alive alongside tracks from Brightblack Morning Light. Their performances of "Everybody Daylight", "Summer Hoof", and "Oppressions Each" were my absolute favorites from the night, but every song was equally amazing." [naturalismo]
Last night (11/17) BML played Le Poisson Rouge (I realize I never format this venue's name the same twice) in NYC. Tonight (11/18) they do it again at Southpaw. MP3's, tour dates, videos and stuff are HERE. More pictures from the LPR show below..

I'm not looking to spread unfounded hate on this board, but these guys seriously suck.

They don't suck, they are just entirely anticlimactic. Musically solid, but waaaaay mellowed out.

I don't think they suck either. But I agree that it's anti-climactic. That was what I realized last night. They make some really beautiful, bluesy sound and create interesting grooves, but it doesn't "go anywhere"...just repeats over and over with small climaxes. By the end, you haven't gone anywhere. Part of this is the lack of discernible lyrics.

They like high school stoners huffing marching band instruments. Your move.

How about your sentence is poorly constructed so your point doesn't even make sense.

Check.
