Do Make Say Think - Other Truths [Constellation]


Do Make Say Think appear to be stuck in some sort of collective rut. Member Ohad Benchetrit has just released a hugely refreshing, varied and - most importantly - boredom-free instrumental indie record as Years. Yet the band he calls his day job has delivered a bloated (it spreads four tracks over 43 minutes) album content on burying its highlights amongst post-rock-by-numbers meanderings.

When those highlights arrive, however, you'll know. Second track 'Make' ends with a fireworks display of screeching guitars and screaming horns, but the long, drawn-out intro saps your interest before it finally arrives. After the excellent 'Say', which warps its melody into chaos, it closes with an unremarkable slow jam called - yep - 'Think'. It's a shame to close a promising album with a damp squib, but more so that, when their individual members are all still bursting with ideas, they're spread out so thinly here.
