who the hell are pyramids?
  
Micahel Chamy sent us an email a couple weeks ago about Pyramids, a Denton band that we had never heard of. Apparently, they just recently signed to Hydrahead, and according to their Myspace page, they've already been reviewed by publications such as Pitchfork. Who are these guys, and why had no one in the local press ever heard of them before? I have no idea. Their music has been compared to Jesu, as well as a number of other shoegaze touchstones including My Bloody Valentine. I'm not really hearing the latter comparison, like at all, but I can sort of see the Jesu thing, as well as similarities to groups like Alcest, some of the more atmospheric moments of Boris, and even stuff like Panda Bear's first album and the excellent Atlas Sound record. If you're familiar with any of the aforementioned influences, none of this stuff is likely to shock your system, but we're interested to find out a bit more. We were reminded of all this when we saw a post about it on Denton Rock City today. Strange stuff.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really
something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

Jesus, can't you people just get a life? It's just music. And it sucks.

Good God. Denton is the Branson, Mo. of smelly DIY bullshit.

according to this forum http://www.foreverdoomed.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2684&p=91981 even the connection to the Canadian Hydrahead band Mare is disputed ....

its an ex-Mare band, so they probably got signed to the same label as Mare because of that. i dont understand why bands get hype before theyve played even one goddamn show.

Like I said elsewhere, my theory is they are one of two things, either making concerted attempts to stay isolated (out of holier than thou-ness or maybe not) OR they are not from Denton and are in fact from Keene or Midlothian or Terrell or something. Either way, yeah it is odd how they were hooked up w/ all those groups ...

Wait... What? Where the hell did this band come from? The second disc has a remix by Blut Aus Nord (!!!!). How a band from Denton has been remixed by one of french black metal's weirdest and grandest bands is so fucking beyond me.

yeah basically that was the content of my email to stonedranger. "who the hell are pyramids?"
