car crash weather sounds like - well - car crash weather. The band, bred from very different musical corners, simply celebrates their shared love for music and sound walls, together with a penchant for intricate rhythms and harmonies. This results in a very characteristic mixture, which can be assigned to the very broad Post Rock genre. Frequently instrumental, sometimes with vocals, massive and chaotic outbreaks are just as much a part of the trademark of car crash weather as fragile and gentle parts. The band creates rousing sound constructs full of energy, melancholy and dynamics. There's no better way to experience this than at a live show. - Youtube
