The Six Parts Seven - The Quick Fire

Artist: The Six Parts Seven
Track: The Quick Fire
Album: Everywhere, and Right Here (2004)

The Six Parts Seven was an American post-rock band formerly based in Kent, Ohio. The band was founded in 1995, and most of the group's music is instrumental, featuring multiple "clean" (undistorted) electric guitars, with electric bass and drums, as well as electric lap steel guitar, viola, and occasionally also piano, vibraphone, or trumpet.

Rather than relying primarily on strummed chords, songs are generally built by combining single-note melodic lines. Most songs are slow, subdued, and introspective, calling to mind the sound of similarly restrained groups such as Bedhead, Low, and American Football, as well as Louisville groups such as Slint and Rodan.
