The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die - Formlessness

So silly name aside, this band is fucking amazing! They, along with Deer Leap, played my house last night and both of them were great. They have a bunch of pretty "post-rock" sounding guitar parts, but they don't overly drag the parts out and keep things constantly changing. Their vocals remind me of older Kickball and they're very good to sing along to, as most people were doing last night. They also have a keyboard player in the band, but use it very tastefully and mostly as just added soundscape background sounds that really fill in the sound. They rule, so just listen already.
They have both of their EPs up on their Bandcamp page for download for free, or you pay what you like. Throw 'em a few bucks, please!
