Syme

syme10-12-07.jpgWe've been listening to a couple of releases by Norwegian post-rock band Syme—a relatively short album called Swing Swing, and an EP of remixes and covers called Modern Love—and we've been enjoying both of them. Their music varies from the dreamy, eerie, and contemplative to the roaring, bouncing, silly, and super-fun. Their best track is probably "Ad Kosmos!" which hits both of those extremes during its four minutes of run time. Syme have been compared to Radiohead and Sigur Rós, and both comparisons are fair. They're playing the Khyber this Sunday
with Middle Distance Runner, The Gay Blades, and White Denim.
