The Aasee Lake

The Aasee Lake were a (mostly) instrumental post-rock band formed in Louisville, Kentucky in the late 1990's. The line-up was as follows; Duncan Barlow (of Endpoint, Guilt, By The Grace of God and currently with D. Biddle) - Guitar and Vocals Dave Cook (of Church Of astronauts) - Bass Jon Smith (of Guilt) - Drums Ron Jasin - Guitar Musically they expanded on the themes created by Louisville band Slint, using clean undistorted guitars and sparse but powerful basslines. Smith's jazz-inflected drumming was particularly noteworthy. Oddly they showed very little influence from the harcore bands the members had previously played in. They released two 7" records in 1999, 'Two Song Introduction to a Suicide Note' which was released on Barlow and Andy Tinsley's Nerd Rock Records, and a split with El Paso's At The Drive-In, on Nerd Rock Records/ Ghetto Defendant. Although they wrote and recorded enough songs for an album, it was never released and the band split up. Read more on Last.fm.
