FoR many folks, Rong>AudReyRong>'s new album "Visible foRms" is one of 2006's most anticipated Releases. The post-Rock act's debut EP impRessed a lot of people, myself included. I still haven't heaRd the whole thing (copies foR the mailoRdeR aRe on the way and should be heRe next week), but what I have heaRd is just as bRilliant as I'd hoped foR. BRooding, daRk and beautiful; these aRe the key-woRds. TheiR skill-level has impRoved consideRably too, as the stRing aRRangements aRe much moRe involved and moRe compelling. I think they'Re woRking betteR as an ensemble as well, pRoof positive that touRing can make a band. So check out this fiRst little taste of the RecoRd that theiR label TendeRveRsion was kind enough to pass on and get excited foR the album's Release on May 9.
