Ours to Alibi - Beacons Live

Add to My Profile | More Videos
Ours to Alibi is an Atlanta-based band that formed in early 2004 by two guitarists Ryan Ashlock and Corban Irby. Joined by Matt Pethel on drums in late 2004, Danny Brewer (bass guitar) in late 2006.
--“Their song orchestration sounds carefully crafted and well thought-out…Very pretty, indeed” (Featured on Buzzgrinder.com Online Magazine)
-- indievisionmusic.com- voted best upcoming indie band
--Indie wars first place winner.
-- "Beacons is the third release from Atlanta's Ours to Alibi, and with it comes a drastic change in sound. The cloud-walking, lofty notes of past are now muddied with emotional anguish, digging the band deeply into an organic richness which brings a whole new dynamic to the music. The first two tracks introduce this stylistic change, as "The Dirt in a Womb" plants itself firmly into the ground while still reaching into the air with it's free appendages. "These Roots are Anchors" cements the change, drawing from peers such as Sparrows Swarm and Sing and Grails in crafting a nightmarish track. Tempers rage, anger swells, and spirits are broken. It's a powerful force to behold. The whole album isn't all gloom and despair, as many earlier tracks have been re-recorded for the new effort. These pieces still contain much of their initial optimistic feel, which is a great thing for fans of Explosions in the Sky. The highlight of the album is certainly the title track; clocking in at over fifteen minutes, "Beacons" oozes subtlety, from the slow tremolo to the burning guitar effects and touches of xylophone, every inch of this track is wonderfully constructed. Emotionally, it's also the middle ground of the album, avoiding the soaring highs and penetrating lows, the tracks is simply content to rest in the middle of the road. Perhaps it's a good place to visit more often." (The Silent Ballet)
