Bringing live transmissions from the future of sound, this time straight from Northern Ireland, INTASTELLA BURST presents the explosive math-rock onslaught of AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR live in Hong Kong!
And So I Watch You From Afar
An experimental math-rock/post-rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The band consists of Rory Friers and Niall Kennedy on guitar, Johnny Adger on bass and Chris Wee on drums.
In March 2013, ASIWYFA released their third album "All Hail Bright Futures" via the excellent indie rock label Sargent House. It is their boldest statement yet, an album bursting with a positive vigor, that states a renewed case for a magnetizing band at their best.
"All Hail Bright Futures" could be taken as both an ethos for the album and the band at this point in time. There is a new color scheme in place: new textures, emotions, sounds and voices. The new additions to the ASIWYFA sound are underpinned by their trademark guitar riffs that bliss the musical brain, complemented by the colossal and increasingly expressive rhythm section that comforts as much as it bludgeons. The 12-track, 43 minute album is dominated by a sunnier disposition, a positive uplift that more closely matches the euphoria the Northern Ireland quartet has been instilling in audiences through their music in a live setting.
Continuing the unparalleled pace at which they've been touring for over five years now, ASIWYFA have taken their uplifting sound to places other bands could only imagine. Since the release of 2011's second album "Gangs", the band have added China, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus to their already considerably stamped passports. As well as these far-flung, seldom played places, the band have gigged all over North America and Europe, bringing their total show tally close to 500.
