I don't know if I know Kid Ikarus. But then again, how would I know I know if I didn't admit that I didn't know knowing whether or not I knew I knew I know?

The best part about post rock bands that don't use ALL THE EFFECTS right the fuck away, is that they allow for your own storyline to be written the very first time you listen to a song. On "Soft Power" from Kid Ikarus, I'm a young lad, growing up in slow motion, but over four minutes and thirty six fucking seconds, and I go from playing in the sandbox with green plastic army men to crashing some foreign beach wearing battle fatigues and carrying a rifle of some sort, sporting a facial expression of strength through unbridled fear.

Kid Ikarus, while new to me, sounds like they know exactly what the fuck they're doing as a post rock outfit, and I apprecaite that the hypnotic scenes in the video aren't meant to write the story for me, but to convince meto write my own fucking story goddamnit.

BALLS.
