Here’s a quick soundite for you – want rough, ready and passionate post-rock with a sense of melody? Then Jena Berlin are the band for you. The fact this band are named after the two cities in Germany where Karl Marx attended college shows they’re a thinking man’s band, but add to the fact they actually mean what they sing and shout with their hearts on their sleeves, this is one of those records that is summed up best by just listening and taking it all in. Passionate, aggressive…words can’t do this record justice. Just listen.
