I have something really special to share to start off the week today, new music from a new band called The Photographic, who have actually been making music since 2003 but are just getting ready to release their debut album. The duo are practically locals as well, being located just south of us in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Photographic make instrumental rock, and as a listener that has slowly grown in my appreciation of instrumental music in general, these guys got me hooked pretty fast. They are certainly for anyone who has ever fallen for Explosions In The Sky, as I feel at times like I am listening to a companion piece from an Explosions album. It is also easy to at times feel the upbeat energy of a Minus The Bear tune as well, as in the mp3 below, Secure. So take some time to dig into these guys and please let me know what you think.

The debut disc from the Louisville duo is due out March 11th from Galaxia Records and is highly recommended. Start with this one and check out more music at their myspace page.

About Joe Long

Joe started ENS in 2003 after most people he wanted to talk to about music were worn thin by his ramblings. The outlet this site provided helped out, and somehow is still going 9 years later. After a four year stint as a WOXY DJ, Joe returned to Cincinnati and continues to pioneer ENS. In addition to the overall look and feel of the site, Joe provides regular reviews, and kinda makes sure this whole thing stays afloat.
