Maybeshewill - Sing the World Hope in Four-Part Harmony (2009)


Maybeshewill is a post-rock band from the UK who sample spoken word passages over their music to lend a lyrical effect. These speeches are invariably political in theme and, while meaningful, do not really add all that much to the music. It works best on the last track (title track) on the album.
While this doesn't feel all that cohesive, it quite good musically, with arrangements that aren't among the best of the genre, but are passable. They are similar to French Teen Idol, another post-rock group that pulls this off a bit better. Despite this, Maybeshewill have released an album worth its runtime, and if nothing else, they provide a nice break from all the pop/rock music I listen to, especially when I feel tired of those same Mogwai and Sigur Ros albums.
