Meniscus - Mother

Genre : Post Rock,Post Metal,Experimental Music Album : Abesence Of I Meniscus’s lush ambient soundscapes, driving bass lines and poly-rhythmic beats create a unique musical experience that has been hypnotising Australian audiences since 2005. The Sydney trio’s unique brand of instrumental post rock blends the moody dynamics of acts like Mogwai and Sigur Rós with the prog rock technicality of King Crimson. The critical success of the band’s 2007 EP The Absence of I elevated Meniscus’s profile globally with rave reviews from The Silent Ballet (Beautifully crafted and impeccably good doesn’t quite sum this up, it’s amazing) and Sputnik Music (Meniscus have a wizardly sense of dynamics, songs flowing with the purity of brilliant and tightly composed). Despite this success, the departure of drummer and co-founder Duncan Wilson forced Meniscus into hiatus in 2008. In early 2009, founding members Daniel Oreskovic (guitar) and Alison Kerjean (bass) made a comeback to the live circuit with new drummer Cameron Brennan, showcasing new songs and arrangements. Meniscus are currently working on material for a full length release in 2010. Band Members Daniel Oreskovic Alison Kerjean Cameron Brennan My Space : Last FM :
