Don’t worry this isn’t as loud as it first appears and because there are no explosive moments we won’t be casting it off into the post rock category. Johnathon Ford is essentially what drives Unwed Sailor and ‘Little Wars’ from late last year is the bands 4th long player. While they are certainly prone to moments of ambient introspection Unwed Sailor are generally slaves to the melodic hook and elastic bass line axes. ‘Aurora’ is quite short but has a wonderful uneven flow to it, which means that the ugly/beautiful parts get a balanced look in. I can imagine its live incarnation is quite spectacular as the swell intensifies and an already wallowing audience surges forward to the stage. KD
