Artist:	DO MAKE SAY THINK
Title:	& Yet & Yet
Label:	CONSTELLATION (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	CST 020CD

"The third full-length by Do Make Say Think marks another quantum leap towards sonic and compositional mastery by this Toronto-based instrumental rock band. Their space- and drone-rock foundations continue to serve as the launching pad for experImentation with jazz-inflected motifs, but with & Yet & Yet, the group's pop sensibility is also on fine display. Melodic themes laid out by guitars and horns wind along a burbling brook of fat analog synths and phased percussion, tiny subtle details are worked into the mix on every track, and the whole record just pulses with warmth and soul."

Title:	Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn
Label:	CONSTELLATION (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	CST 025CD

"Do Make Say Think have fashioned a fourth full-length album of tremendous beauty and depth, more loosely woven than previous records and played with a dark, wistful restraint throughout. The songs on Winter Hymn... are eerie and iridescent, composed and captured with mesmerising attention to detail, all guided by the band's most intricate and intimate guitar passages to date. Many of the songs feature a newfound non-linearity in compositional structure that once again raises the DMST bar for imbuing instrumental rock with heartrending -- yes, even hymnal -- narrative ideas. More than any previous effort by the band, this is an album that yearns to be listened to as a whole, or at least in the triptychs defined by the 3-sided vinyl edition. SIDE A is driven by introspective guitar work, full of delicate transitions and devastatingly soulful punctuations. These first three tracks rank among the finest and most finessed music Do Make Say Think has yet set to tape -- impressionistic and fragmented, while remaining coherent and perfectly controlled. SIDE B relies more heavily on horns and a recurring jazz groove in the rhythm section, while SIDE C brings on the rock & pop denoument, beginning with an explosive track that devolves into cut-up and eventually gives way to the celebratory album finale (complete with submerged chorale)."

Title:	You, You're A History In Rust
Label:	CONSTELLATION (CANADA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	CST 045CD

"Since Constellation issued their self-released debut record in 1998, Do Make Say Think have made one critically acclaimed album after another. They are one of the most consistently inventive instrumental rock bands of the past past decade, and one of the most realized. DMST members themselves have recorded, mixed, and mastered all the band's work, thus developing a highly original and finely detailed approach to audio production. You, You're A History In Rust is the fifth record by Do Make Say Think and a brilliant extension of the band's sonic narrative. Constellation is thrilled to release this fifth album by one of their most creative, thoughtful, challenging and accessible groups."
