I've written about Chicago prog outfit Outrun the Sunlight before, but it was in the long, long ago of last summer. Back then, the band's second LP Terrapin was still under construction and the song I was writing about (a track called "Spirit") was just an early look at the then-unreleased final record.
Fast forward to around nowishly, and Terrapin has been out since December, kicking ass and taking names instrumental style. Factor in the recent playthrough video posted by guitarist Austin Peters, and you've got the perfect excuse to check out some more Outrun the Sunlight in the form of "When Every Word Speaks, Spoken".
The band's basic formula for heavy is still essentially the same as it was on "Spirit" -- downtuned groove meets interesting chord choices meets melodic tap tap tapping -- but that doesn't make the formula any less tasty, or any less well conceived and executed. Have a listen and see what you think.
