IN TOMORROW HID YESTERDAY

A great debut from this new band out of Sweden. A lot of promise. Solid throughout. Points of reference would be Porcupine Tree, Pineapple Thief and RPWL. By no means is Koi a clone, though. The difference is this sounds a little more indie than the aforementioned bands with that special distinct Swedish sound. When I mention Porcupine Tree, I refer to their Delerium-years from the '90s when they were spacey. Koi rarely move into the metal territory that Porcupine Tree has adopted as of late. So, if you enjoyed your P-Tree without the metal; then this new Koi album is one to check out. One of the better debut albums of 2010. Recommended. 3.5 rating
