Errors are a Glaswegian band that I recently discovered and after hearing one song on their Myspace I decided to give their newest album a listen. Obvious comparisons to Mogwai arose after only a few minutes time as their sound is along the same post-rock/instrumental vein. They utilize synthesizers a bit more and therefore have been labeled as 'post-electro'. "Come Down With Me" is catchy as a whole and hooks are found in abundance, never needing vocals to be had. First track "Bridge or Cloud?" builds with layers of synths before crashing into a drum line full of cowbell segueing into the delicate end of a perfect opener. Following track "A Rumor in Africa" is insanely catchy and is one of the album's best songs. Metronomy (see earlier post) came to mind when I first heard third track "Supertribe"; it focuses less on the guitars and more on the synths and is yet again catchy as hell. The finale "Beards" is more of a Krautrock offering and is perhaps the only song on the whole album that is a little bit different than all the rest. It's the longest song on the album clocking in at just shy of six minutes and is an epic (behemoth) end to (I hate to say it again) catchy as hell album.
