Now here's a rare album: the bicycle project were a band from Nevada, and that's about all I know about them. They had a fantastic sound, a cross of post-rock and midwest emo. Their closest contemporaries would be bands like The Bitter Life Typecast and The Alexander, but the bicycle project can veer a little heavier in sound than either of them, and also make more use of long passages of ambient noise. The result is a mix of influences that sits at the overlapping points of midwest emo, post-hardcore, and ambient post-rock.
2000's where searchlights are weapons is apparently their only release, and we're lucky it's a full-length. It also clocks in at a whopping one hour and ten minutes, so they made it count.
