Trying to find any other word than 'moving' to describe Ef's debut is something I've been struggling with these past few days. With a wide arrangement of instruments to use at their discretion, they've constructed a sublime collection of post-rock that's as forceful as it is grounding. Each song careens down a path of delay-driven guitars and yearning strings and even a few scattered vocals here and there to give the record a little more room to breathe. At times "Give me beauty…or give me death!" seems to have the power to make time speed up around you with the captivating rise and fall of "Final touch/hidden agenda", and at other times, it can slow things down with the humbling sway of "Hello Scotland". Any post-rock listener should take note: Ef might just be the band you're looking for during this cold, cold winter.

Swedish post-rockers Ef have cancelled their UK tour planned for September and will instead try to return sometime in early 2007. The reason? Money. Isn't it always? But on the plus side, they'll be doing some more dates around Northern Europe and you can get the latest here: http://www.efmusic.nu/live.htm
