ANKLES is an uppercase-loving trio from
Hartlepool in North-East England. Their
sound has been described in various places
as "The Shins but lower." Which in a twisted
comical way does somewhat describe their
sound, better than I'll be able to anyway.
Using two bassists and a drummer, they
create complex soundscapes which you find
yourself getting lost inside, as they slowly
build up and cascade down. In the rare event
they use vocals, they treat them just as
another instrument and they don't take more
limelight from the drumbeats or the bass riffs
at all.
In their song Angles, they use fingerclicks as
part of the percussion in the most brilliant way,
you just want to join in like some crazed jazz
fan. If you can cope with not singing along to
a song and can appreciate great talent of
creating good instrumental music, you should
definately check them out.
