Do Make Say Think - Other Truths


Do Make Say Think are back with 'Other Truths,' their sixth full-length album with a sound that shows evolution from their last few but stays true to the DMST roots by producing an album that quite possibly could not sound anything like anyone else.
Their career so far spanning 13 years has seen a constant change in their sound and Other Truths is no exception with a much more upbeat sound that packs more of a punch than the last few albums ‘You’re a History In Rust’ and their self titled.
The whole album comprises of four songs all weighing in at well over ten minutes which might be enough to put a number of people off but as with some of their old albums there are no sections comprising 5 minutes of minimalist noise, the album is pretty much full on from the word go and continues that way until the final track 'Think' which has a much more ambient feel.
Do and Make are both pretty fast paced, featuring huge amounts of heavily reverbed chords and delayed guitars which build up to horn sections giving their sound a lot more depth and emphasising that epic feel. It's the truly magical track 'Say' which steals the show though, it's a slow build up but by the time the slide guitar and drums kicked in I was enthralled. Other Truths is an instrumental journey that is full of surprises, Do Make Say Think have yet again proved why they are so highly regarded.
