Describing music is hard enough at the best of times, let alone when I’m put up to the task for a band like Willows.

Filing them under the catch-all sub-genres of “post-rock”, “post-hardcore” or “post-metal” seems inadequate, even though their music displays elements of all the above – quiet, clean delayed bits like Explosions in the Sky, sludgy power chords like Neurosis and ISIS and the atmospherics of A Perfect Circle.

Well, I tried my best. Just click the little triangle up there, or cosy up to them at the next gig they play. Watch out for flying guitar headstocks.
