New The Wedding Mistakes: “Though All Eternity?”

This has been tagged post-rock, and at first I was ready to skip this one over completely. “Man, post-rock, I don’t have time for that,” I thought, expecting some stab at Explosions In The Sky grandiosity. Turns out The Wedding Mistakes have a very, very different definition of post-rock than me. This collaboration, between Miii and LASTorder, imagines a world where rock music just doesn’t exist, and a wide range of electronic sounds have taken their place. “Though All Eternity?” opens like a bouncy electro-pop song, powered by a fizzling vocal sample and many electronics going off around them (some twinkling!). Then the beat hastens and this swerves into drum ‘n’ bass. Then everything drops out from underneath the song, leaving some ping-ponging bass freakouts. Rinse and repeat. It’s a frantic and enjoyable number that finds both producers pushing themselves. Listen below.
