Free Music Review: A Prickly Masterpiece...best album on Bifocal? hmmm...yes!
Hit: 5 Stars
a fantastic two-piece band from North Carolina, Des_Ark stradles the line between heartfelt bluesy acoustic numbers and twisted angular miniature anthems of desperation. you might be thinking to yourself: "yea..that sounds like the description of all those other bands that go from loud to soft and back to loud again." but...no no no. you haven't heard anything like this, my friends. other bands may have the minute talent necessary to produce strong bits of songs that have a hook or two; but overall, those groups are faceless, and their music is usually nothing more than a drab, generic product...fit for rotting away on youir shelves.
Des_Ark, on the other hand comes across as an authentic candidate for one of the best bands that youi've never heard! when listening to Loose Links Sink Ships, i am reminded of groups like Silkworm, Built To Spill, or performers like PJ Harvey...whose songs are (basically) pop songs in their basest of nature; but have been laced with an angular sense of timing and a prickly heat that reveals a medicine box full of sinister little touches. you can hear it in Amy's guitar chords..sometimes sounding as if the notes were choked out of the instrument...they come out like mangled balls of copper wires and unfurl from her fingertips like spun thread. other times, the venom gets set aside, and we get a warm embrace from it's lover with blissfully sweet picking and tasteful bluesy folksy playing. the words and vocals reflect a desire to reach beyond the frame of the song and propel the listener to a languid and hazy vision that is raw in sentiment and at times...unnerving. but amidst all the blood, sweat, and fears...the twinkling of those heavenly chords always serves as a comfort if the listener begins to feel ...exposed to such a naked expression within these compositions. Tim's drumwork is notable for being so grounded and precise. nothing behind the kit feels overdone or overworked. it is as raw and meaningful as the songs will allow; working well within these sacred grounds.
the highlights of this disc are far too numerous to mention on by one. it is an album that must be heard in it's entire playing length to fully grasp it's power and heart. you will be moved when listening to this record. you may be a bit scared. and you might find yourself lost in it's maze of tangled brush and wire. but it's an album that will reach out and not let you go. you won't forget the music drifting and clawing from your speakers. and it only get better with repeated listens.
coupled with a stellar production job and a fantastic graphic design approach, Loose Lips Sinks Ships is an essential purchase! take my word for it...don't let this one pass this one by.
