Probably the only post rock band not inspired by other post-rock bands three piece
Laymar play dark, atmoshpheric blood soaked instrumentals with broken melodic loops, rise and fall drum crashes, spine chilling bass and effects soaked guitar. Welcome to Planet Laymar.
"They take an age to plug in, bits of wire and fixing tape pile high across the small stage; there are technical difficulties, but then as Laymar probably have more things to go wrong than the Space Shuttle we'll forgive them. Their set starts quietly, the first sheets of analogue and digital soundscape competing with a crowd babble, but then there's that moment when it all clicks in and the next twenty minutes are lost to Planet Laymar. Three silent silhouettes work their magic against a backdrop of Russian words and red light; twisting and turning alongside the towers of beautifully bleak post-rock that strike out into every corner of your consciousness. It builds and builds, as delay-heavy guitars float across the icy vistas from the electronics; drums crash like the weather closing in and deep bass trembles. When they reach the peak it's like Ulrich Schnauss meets 65daysofstatic meets the distorted echoes of some Blade Runner parallel universe; the peak lasts for five, ten minutes; there is no time here. Then it all disintegrates, beautifully; there's a hole in one of the cymbals and it's thrown into the drumkit like some funeral pyre, and... fade out. Breathe." Manchestermusic
