Kepler. Fuck Fight Fail LP + This Heart is Painted On EP.

One of our favorite bands, Kepler were a wonderful group from Ontario, Canada. They put out a handful of 7"s, a few comp tracks, an EP, and three LPs, all of which are highly recommended. Talk of bands like Low and Bedhead have surrounded this band since the very beginning, but I've always thought they sounded like a band using slowcore as more of an aesthetic, less of a structure thing songwriting-wise, focusing more on a slower, more drawn out post-rock style in their compositions. Early Godspeed You Black Emperor! merged with the For Carnation wouldn't be a bad comparison. Surprisingly enough, this band has connections with two of the major players in the more mainstream indie rock scene, as their bassist was a contributing writer at Pitchfork before the band started in earnest, and their drummer currently plays with the Arcade Fire.
