Moving Mountains - Foreword EP

I've talked about Moving Mountains (affectionately known as MovMou) before on this blog - you can find my post about their debut LP Pneuma here. in case I didn't make it clear enough already, I fucking love this band and they are only getting better. the word around the internet is that they're currently recording their new album, so I recommend you begin preparing yourselves for that greatness immediately.

anyway, the Foreword EP is their most recent release, put out sometime last year (I was so busy loving on Pneuma that it took me quite a while to get around to listening to this EP). the 4 songs on here are strong overall, showing an admirable maturation of their bombastic, beautiful sound. the vocals are different - clearer, stronger and even more emotive. the songs have recognizable structure and purpose while still allowing MovMou to delve into their post-rock sound with even more boldness than before.

it's clear the band tried to challenge and change themselves with this material. the only place they faltered is with the pretty but unremarkable "Armslength," but the boys more than make up for it with every other song on the EP. their passion and creativity shines brightly here, and it makes me even more impatient to hear what's coming next.
