London’s Tout make highly atmospheric instrumentals with interweaving guitars accompanied by drums and viola to create cinematic soundscapes. The result is suggestive of open terrain and movement through far flung landscapes as their country-tinged melodies intermingle with post-rock structuring. In 2011, the band released their first album, aptly title ‘First’, through instrumental specialist label Trestle. Building on its foundations, a five-piece Tout returned with ‘Second’ last summer further augmenting their sound with Fender Rhodes, bass, the addition of cello and viola and a more electrified sound with driving percussion.
