I'm not really quite sure how I stumble across Tartufi, I'm thinking it was from last.fm and listening to stuff throughout the day at work, while I sit behind a desk and computer for over 8 hours a day. However I found it, I'm pretty glad that I did.
Nests of Waves and Wire is a pretty damn good album, with lots of changes throughout the 7 tracks being offered. Being hesitant on using the description of post rock for this band, I use it in a very vague sense. Tartufi captures the essence of post rock but with twist of changes that lend multitudes of styles within the album. Soft female vocals layer the guitar work that interweaves some spectacular drumming. Honestly, the drumming impresses me more than anything else on this album; with multiple bands within this pseudo post-rock genre, the drumming/percussion of Tartufi is what set them apart from other bands.
In my opinion, Tartufi could speak to the masses, if they were given the opportunity. I found this album on Soulseek, so if you use this P2P program, you'll find it quite easily. Definitely worth a listen or 2, or 10, maybe not a must have, but for sure a must listen. Check them out on Facebook, Myspace, Bandcamp and their website.
Official score: 3.75/5
