Free Music Review: It Drones, It's Noisy, and It's Fun
Hit: 3 Stars
Twelve tracks, of those twelve you may only find a few stands out the first listen. Give it some time, although a noisy album there is some separation in sound. The first track "Opening" sets its course with a vague classic rock drumbeat; slowly the static clinger guitar builds up friction. My ears deceive me, I was under the belief the 90's never passed, the song was so strongly reminiscent of an Alice In Chains song.
"What's A Man's Paris" (second track) reminds me of Queens of The Stone Age's heavy lazy hard hitters. It morphs into a DIY punk desensitized vocal manor, blurring the mics capability, and showing off their rapid ability to adapt. "Helium Heels" warps its way in offering some more modernistic psychedelic. "Helium Heels" has a guitar lick you'd expect from a death metal band, then confusingly goes to an undistorted progressive segment. During this time the humbuckers on the guitar show age like a camera with oils dulling its lens.
"Post Mortem, Post boredom" all the tracks are noisy this one so far is no exception, except it is probably the most competent to be played in a dark room with a candle flickering light (the others would probably be more fit for a strobe light or a nice laser jittering images on the floor). It's dark, it absorbs light, and it's good. Now you can blow out the candle and watch the smoke do its dance, "Wake" is like the walk out of the foggy woods. "Wake" is an instrumental, the guitar twangs of hot needles, and it is the least noisy track and is the most atmospheric (in my opinion of course).
The second half of the album lacks decisiveness, now that we've herd this group get heated up we expect more! That's actually good, they pulled us in, but they may not tie all of us down just yet. That's why I recommend a few listens if possible; it grows (people hate hearing me say `go listen again' I don't blame em).
Rough production isn't so noticeable when mixed with rough sounds. I own the vinyl copy of this album, and even with the surface noise and a few blots of dust it covers it nicely, no really. For those looking into vinyl version here's a few details. Gatefold, double LP, not sure if it's 180-gram feels heavy, standard ole dust sleeves inside.
Listen to a few tracks under the Amazon sample section, really not a bad album. For a debut it could have been worse. Overall a fun distorted album.
