…”a post rock band who really excel at their craft”. Radians has been reviewed in Prog Magazine‘s January 2013 edition.  Verse Metrics are compared to Vessels, Pure Reason Revolution, Mogwai, Twilight Sad, I Concur and Meursault in the same review… the full version is below.

Chris Kelman reviews Verse Metrics recent Radians EP for Glasgow blog Ravechild….

[box]‘Algorithms’ is built around wave after wave of intense flooding guitars, every stroke that bit more fluorescent with intent.

If ‘Algorithms’ is based on intensifying guitars, then ‘Semaphore’ hones itself off of haunting and seeping vocals.

‘Aches’ bends differently altogether, taking the simmering vocals and hammering them through a wall of blending guitars and bass.

There are small hints of Mogwai to be found on ‘Aches’, a charismatic blend of grandeur and rawness grates together to create something epic and diverse.

It is closing track ‘Logarithms’ that ties up the whole package beautifully.[/box]

Halina Rifai rates ‘Radians’ by Verse Metrics as her second favourite EP of the year.

[box]Without a doubt one of the bands to get me very excited about 2013 and lift my spirits in the latter half of 2012. I was starting to get a bit nervous about the standard of artists in Scotland on a DIY level, but Verse Metrics are technically brilliant. ‘Radians’ is full of aural intricacy and enough tension to make you realise that when it comes to questioning the dynamic comparison between classical and contemporary music, EPs like this should be used as prime example to fight the corner of modern music.[/box]

…that seems to have burst onto the scene in the last few years’ writes Anna LeBeau. ‘Burn Twice As Bright’ is described as ‘intricate’ and ‘interesting guitar-led indie magic’. Listen to the track and read more at >thevinyldistrict.com<

Antonella Azzollini of Polkadot.it says “As soon as I listened to their brilliant work, I felt a kind of nostalgia of American rock, of that sound very much influenced by dragging guitars and hard drums.
When you go through 5-track EP is pretty obvious that this work hides a more complex structure which mirrors their influence of the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, Stapleton, And So I Watch You From Afar, Deftones, Polvo, At The Drive In, American Football, Mogwai”

Glasgow PodcART write that ‘‘Radians’ is a well thought out and multifarious record. It is EP’s like this that really illustrate the scientific side of music and even with its layered elements and mathematic ingenuity, it is sheer indulgence’. Thanks to Halina Rifai for the kind words!
