The Appleseed Cast and Hospital Ships at Mohawk Patio
When The Appleseed Cast put out its 1998 debut, The End Of The Ring Wars, the group was lumped in with the then-bearable emo scene, a product of its Lawrence, Kan., headquarters and relationship with Deep Elm Records (home to the Emo Diaries series), not to mention those Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral references in an unfavorable Pitchfork review. But like a lot of bands from that era, the emo tag no longer applies to what The Appleseed Cast has been up to lately, which includes continuing experiments with synths and electronic noises. Its recent Sagarmatha scribbles outside those unfairly tagged genre lines even further by concentrating almost exclusively on dreamy post-rock instrumentals.
