　　"Intro" may through the listener for a loop (perhaps a snapshot from Scars of
　　the Midwest?), and even "I Lived on the Moon," with it's gloriously ascending
　　guitar line, may still leave us scratching our heads. Some very somber vocals
　　are even added to the mix to further complicate the matter; yes, Kwoon is a
　　post-rock band that likes to sing on occasion. Then we come to "Blue Melody" and
　　as the slow, celestial ambience slowly begins to dissolve, the pace of the
　　guitar quickens and the drums flare to life, signaling the beginning of the
　　triumphant finale. The sextet sure knows how to pack a powerful punch, a punch
　　which sends me back listening to Agaetis Byrjun. Tales and Dreams is not nearly
　　as ambitious as Sigur Ros' masterpiece, but over the course of 40 minutes the
　　band lays down 10 tracks, all of which are easily accessible. Those who find the
　　Icelandic quartet too pretentious might do tell to check out Tales and Dreams,
　　in fact. Kwoon's take is much more guitar oriented, favoring a reliance on
　　tremolos to surge through murky ambience and digging deeply into the reserves
　　when needed. "Tenkleh Skofa" displays the cleverness of the act, layering loops
　　in opposing directions to juxtapose the light and dark aspects of the music
　　while stitching it together well enough to almost convince you it's all in a
　　linear fashion before the heavy reversal thump becomes apparent. The artistic
　　merits of the music are never once compromised through the album's entirety, but
　　at the same time the band is very conscience of who it's playing for -- an
　　audience.
　　For what it's worth, Kwoon does well to not delve too heavily into a single
　　source of inspiration and presents a well-sampled and varied taste of modern
　　music. Conceptually, the album works well, and musically it not only highlights
　　the conceptual theme, but also stands very strongly all by itself. In my book,
　　we call that "success."
