Sounds Like: Like Rush only less Canadian:
When you envision a mere three people playing instruments onstage, you tend to imagine muted, minimal amount of sound. Salt Lake City alt-rock trio Our Time in Space never cease to amaze with their full-dimensional, explosive waterfall of sonics, using the same vocals, drums and guitars available to every other carbon-based rock & roll band in the known universe. We can't quite identify the hidden component that makes their music so captivating, but we've been thoroughly hypnotized. Jenny Poplar Sl Weekly 2007
This Is... Ep
Self-Released
O.T.I.S.=Sparta+Mandarin+mucho delay:
Salt Lake is not known for it's cerebral music, many bands work hard to create a carefree party atmosphere or to make an enviroment to release the various tensions of life. O.T.I.S. does not fit into either of these categories because of their take on sound creation. They spend their time creating delicate and near mathmatical soundscapes that are more about introspection and less about exhibitionism. The songs slowly build in a near post-rock fashion while being accompanied by the siren-esque vocals of Ryan Nielsen. By the end of the EP I found myself almost in a dream-like state pondering the universe.

Save the King Crimson comparisons:
Our Time In Space stem from a less epic branch of the prog-rock family tree. This Is is five tracks of cosmic math jams appealing to the inner geek in all of us. While some of the chord structures are a bit tired (i.e. the simple hook on Suenos Malos), extended segues into layered echo-effect are downright hypnotic. Angular guitars and soothing falsetto help mix things up, peppering shoe-gazer melodies that might otherwise drag down an EP well worth your while.
