DO MAKE SAY THINK
& YET & YET (CONSTELLATION)
The third full-length by Do Make Say Think marked another quantum leap by this Toronto-based instrumental rock band.
Their space- and drone-rock foundations continued to serve as the launching pad for experimentation with jazz-inflected motifs, but with this album, the group's pop sensibility was also on fine display.
Melodic themes laid out by guitars and horns wind along a burbling brook of fat analog synths and phased percussion, tiny subtle details are worked into the mix on every track, and the whole record just pulses with warmth and soul.
