Press Reviews PROJEKTOR - RED WOLF GLASS (Endearing) This CD shows that yes, Canadians can also gaze at their shoes, and they can do it well.  Dark, intense, dynamic, and driving soundscapes that push heavy like dynamic molasses through the atmosphere.  There are a few hints of that post-hardcore edge and angst in the vocals reminiscent of other Canadian band, By A Thread, but the smoothness of the music and the thickeness of the almost orchestral guitars make my ears head more towards bands like Swervedriver.  Sometimes the fullness spreads out until you are left with a subtle base line and soaring Brit-pop vocals that would fit in alongside bands like The Doves and Coldplay, and then it builds back up into epic life. The lyrics touch upon a gothic poeticness, but the music lifts you out of the shadows. bigtakeover.com PROJEKTOR - RED WOLF GLASS (Endearing) Red Wolf Glass, the debut album from Projektor, explodes with emotion from the first track on. "Foxfire" begins with the lead singer Jahmeel crooning about his feelings to a loved one gone astray, over rock music that has a huge sound.  "Why aren't you near me?", he asks with an "emo"-like forcefulness, as guitars echo his intensity and a tight rhythm section propels the song along.  From there, the band continues on a similarly powerful path.  On "The Warm Winter," Jahmeel and giutarist/vocalist Dustin trade off vocals about maintaining trust and order in a relationship, while the whole band rocks on in a dreamy yet potent manner.  The lyrics throughout Red Wolf Glass are poems about love relationships which reflect all of the struggles, fears, and conflicting feelings that exist in them.  "Communication's like an airplane/break down over the sea," Jahmeel sings on "Double Dragon."  Projektor's songs are all about the inevitable disconnects and disruptions that interfere with the idyllic, dreamer's view of love. The lyrics are descriptive and from a personal perspective, continually achieving a fierce sort of cartharsis. That transcendent emotional release is equally achieved through the music; the band continually gets into a Red House Painters-like Zen state and then builds the strength behind it over and over again, until the music catches afire.  Projektor dive into the human psyche with an unbelievable vigor, pushing their way into the innermost workings of human relationships and directing what they've learned into top-notch, eruptive rock.
