Speaking through actions is traditionally the task of self-assured, moral men adhering to a higher standard than lip service. Applying the same status to a rock-n-roll band is a woeful misstep but, at the same time, there is a similarity in the self-assurance it takes to maintain an instrumental rock band these days. Audiences are used to the bombast and beauty of Sigur Ros, the muscular U2-isms of Maserati and the soundtrack-worthy composition of Explosions In The Sky. Each speak to that particular portion of the human soul which seeks foundation and inspiration. The problem is the field of instrumental bands is becoming more and more crowded and why should you care about a band called A. Armada out of Athens, GA? Because A. Armada speaks to other needs. Contact us for a download or copy of Anam Cara!Formed in 2004 by guitarists Matt
Nelson and Josh McCauley, with the addition of bassist Bryant Williamson
(Cinemechanica) and drummer Jeremy “Catfish” Harbin, A. Armada
plays internally expansive music. The instrumental methods of the band are
clearly akin to the aforementioned groups (as well as Appleseed Cast,
Godspeed! You Black Emperor, etc.) but rather than mimic the sound they
have taken inspiration. Whereas so much music produced by the other groups
mentioned causes one to envision an open-ended world, A. Armada’s
music is more personal. If anything, the message from A. Armada is to work
from where one is and to focus that inspiration internally. In many ways,
it’s a bootstrap work-ethic translated into music. Considering that
A. Armada has its roots in the tiny Georgia border town of Columbus, it
seems clear A. Armada means it. Hello Sir Records is releasing Anam Cara on January 27, 2009. Track Listing 01.
