Saxon Shore - Back in Studio + Featured in Commercial
9 May 2008, Allan @ 9:40 pm

This is an excuse to talk about Saxon Shore, one of the few post-rock bands I knew about before Jessica mentioned all these post-rock bands to me in conversation and on this blog.

I knew about Saxon Shore as they were the band that had the Tillmans part of their group. Zach and Josh are off doing bigger things these days in the Seattle scene with Zach part of Siberian (whom I’ve become a big fan of) and Josh with his solo efforts and now as a member of soon to be indie stars the Fleet Foxes.

Anyway Saxon Shore’s Marked With Knowledge is actually featured in a commercial but other then a fan, I’d say putting in an instrumental track doesn’t help the artist as much as when Feist or Yael Naim had their tracks in IPod commercials. I’m not going to put a link to the video (I’m not going to give a free advertisement to something that’s not important). I think the instrumental track works well with the commercial but the music is something I would find rather anonymous and would have no idea of if someone showed it to me.

More importantly in a press release Saxon Shore is back in studio with the same producer Dave Friddman for The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore for a new album. It should be good and suggesting that it’s been almost 3 years since their last release…it’s about time.

I don’t think I was ever expecting a press release done for Saxon Shore as they don’t seem to be too well known. I was excited to say the least and they are arguably the first post-rock band I’ve gotten to like and with hopefully more to come.
