From what I've heard, these guys only rehearsed two or three times before recording this wonderful EP. That's undescribably tight-as-fuck having in mind how beautifully melodic they've managed to make every song. It's a shame they broke up, if rehearsing sessions countable on half a hand could produce such a perfect record, just imagine what we could have been hearing from them in the future if they kept going.
I was lucky enough to be at their last show ever, with GO! With Fourteen O, Meleeh and Grizzly Twister at Kafé 44 in Stockholm in september -07 (except from FB37SOH I only had the time to see G!WFO, who were also fucking amazing, though) and it was the awesomest show I've ever been to. I was just amazed and went home with a t-shirt and a limited (like in probably less than 10 copies) CD version of this, and eventually bought it on vinyl when it was out. You should definitely do the same, this is a must-buy.

This is the kind of record that I just had to buy two days after hearing it for the first time (ok, it just so happened to be that I was planning to buy some stuff from Big Bear Records and found this in the distro list and just had to check it out, but still).
I was just stunned when I heard this for the first time. This band, whose Last.fm fans counts to none more than 12, plays some of the most sincere screamo I have heard in ages. It's that perfect blend of chaos and beauty that only very few bands manage to create. And their lyrics sheet is among the most profound ones I've ever read, a fine reminder of that aside from the mainstream music industry with its massproduction of meaningless music with meaningless lyrics, there's still some people reasoning and making music with their hearts and souls rather than their greed for money and fame.

At times, this is mostly noise, Zarathustra probably causing most of it, but inbetween, both bands (hailing from, respectively, Mexico and Chile) present some pretty sweet tunes.
These tracks also appear on a 4 way split tape along with The Short Blooming and Spectres, which I unfortunately don't have downloads for. But since The Short Blooming's contribution to the tape (Von Fingerabdrücken, Schneeflocken Und So... and Wishful Thinking) are already on the Zu Wahr Um Schön Zu Sein album that I've posted, and the track from Spectres (Quick Drop and a Sudden Stop) aren't their best effort anyway (those are on the Allegory of the Cave split that I posted back in October) it doesn't really matter. It's available through various distros though, you should totally buy it, I did. The cover has an awesome painting of a whale in a three by artist Matt Gauck.

German band making emo-violence with some insanely cool vocals. That guy surely can scream.
Nowadays they're making quite more experimenting music under the name Thoughts Paint The Sky. I've got one of their CD's, maybe I'll care to upload it some day.
