Moving Mountains - Pneuma


There's something very interesting about the bands that come from the NY/NJ area: they all are very different in their own ways, but they still all manage to sound the same somehow. This is a good thing. It seems to have started out with the Lifetime and Saves the Day comparisons, then evolved to the comparison between Brand New and Taking Back Sunday's debut releases. But if you take the time to listen to those bands (especially Brand New, old Taking Back Sunday, new Crime in Stereo, and the Movielife), they all sound very similar. Such is true with Moving Mountains. They do a damn good job of breaking out of the punk/emo mold and pull through with a record that sounds as much like Caspian as it does Brand New (or at least, almost). Pneuma does not disappoint and is engaging for the entire forty-seven minutes.
