"ENGINES OF PROGRESS is a quite remarkable album, mixing the spruce side of inquisitive electronic music, with frequently ingenious lyrics (an odd enough experience), yet also capable of throwing up some songs worthy of the fieriest postpunk or indie rocklings." –Mick Mercer, Interview w/ Ars Phoenix in The Mick 43 “emotional gravity of Simon and Garfunkle,” – Punk Planet 57 "We have the usual mixture of Electronic, Industrial and Ambient ingredients here that are used by thousands of sonic chefs nowadays. The difference here, which puts Glover in the top 1%, is having vocals which create an impact, aided by stunningly visual lyrics. There is much disturbance involved, with the music a threshing machine admirably restrained, melodic but bristling, moving from playfully ominous to potentially lethal. . . . a name that should put your eyes and ears on full alert." –Mick Mercer, Review of Engines of Progress in The Mick 42 "Glover is, above all, a good songwriter and able to combine different genres very skilfully. . . . 'The Dry, Cracked, Yearning Earth’ uses grinding, gothic guitars to get its apocalyptic message across. ‘Through Nets Of Granite’ is a doomy song made attractive thanks to its haunting keyboard melody whereas the post-punk bass propelling ‘Sovereign’ and serene synth tune for ‘Twigs’ add to the list of compelling moments. In addition, a couple of instrumental passages reveal an unexpected lightness of touch; ‘Modules’ and ‘Tone Poem (Minus Text)’ rank well above the level of incidental music and cross over into IDM territory." –Jonathan Leonard, Review of Engines of Progress in Leonard's Lair "post-punk psychwave" –Chris Miller, Electronic SubSouth With appearances from members of Fake Problems, The Antiques, and Rowdy Towdy, the 18-track collection Engines of Progress is a sonic bricolage of atmospheric post-punk, melancholic new wave, quirky IDM, hypnotic trip hop, and climactic shoegaze/post-rock. Available now from Interpunk.com , CD Baby , For Documentation Only Recordings , Amazon , . In various projects and bands, Ars Phoenix frontman Jon Glover has shared the stage with bands as varied as The Faint, Now It's Overhead, Bloodlet, Tom Gabel of Against Me!, Reversal of Man, Ink & Dagger, Page 99, Underoath, Salem, MxPx, P.O.D., and many more. |
