Music That Doesn't Suck!: Spaces

I first discovered Spaces through arguably the best MMA media site AllElbows as the background music to a video on Mo Lawal. They are an all instrumental band based out of Brooklyn, NY that create a wall of sound with effects pedal driven guitar riffs. What makes these guys different than most experimental rock is that they teamed up with an artist to create artwork based on each individual track. I listen to this on the regular with two tracks making it onto mixtapes (Decent and Abyss We Miss).
The band's description of the album: Spaces is an experimental/instrumental band formed in 2008, comprised of Franco Colon and Duke Ahrens; two Florida natives currently residing in Brooklyn, NY. The two write and record all songs, with the occasional help of guest performers.

This album is made of conceptual songs that will be released monthly, collectively telling a story bound together by similar sounds and sonic qualities. Artwork inspired by each respective track will also be released along with the songs, created by local artist and friend, James Sanford.
