Album Description
Available in:
"Stubborn Persistent Illusions" is the seventh full length studio album from Canadian Post-rock band Do Make Say Think. It was released on 19 May 2017 on the Constellation label.
The first new release in eight years for the Canadian instrumental post-rock band was self-produced and mixed. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 83, based on 10 reviews, indicating "Universal acclaim ".
User Album Review
The nine instrumentals that make up the band's first album in almost as many years are all written in major keys. They have a warmth and earnestness that permeates their complex emotional movements. Their soundscapes seamlessly blend the organic and rustic infrastructures of urban life.
Despite the lack of lyrics, vivid imagery abounds: "Her Eyes on the Horizon" conveys a hazy, shimmering sense of distance, as though she's gazing out over lake Ontario, her surroundings shaded in with leaping horn melodies and carefully intertwined guitar arpeggios. "A Murder of Thoughts" circles around a rumbling floor tom rhythm, gliding patiently like a murder of crows. When the "War on Torpor" is declared in the opening track, the band try to lead by example, building up a harmonious roar overtop a restless and exuberant scurry of drums.
Stubborn Persistent Illusions can seem daunting with its hour-long runtime, but it's a worthy monolith that can be explored on the listener's own terms. These songs don't necessarily need your attention for validation — they have their own agency. Inevitably, they will come home to roost.
