Free Music Review: awesome addition to the post punk genre
Hit: 5 Stars
I haven't heard much of Alkaline Trio or F-Minus but I do like a lot of the old school goth/post punk bands so I thought I'd check this album out and it doesn't disappoint. The strongest tracks are in my opinion counting, patent pending, another night, leave, and dead end girl, in no particular order. The other songs here are all really good and listenable as well but these five are the cream of the crop in my opinion as far as showing the diversity of what this band can do. Counting is a straight up driving bleak post punk song with excellent impassioned lyrics delivered in the commanding and unembellished voice of vocalist Matt Skiba. The songs tale of a bittersweet and homicidal evening will send chills up your spine. The drum production on this song sounds exactly like Joy Division, its eerie, as though the drum beats are rising out of some inky black abyss. Dead end girl is a sweet song that is dark most of the way through but ends in a triumphantly gloomy crescendo. If leave doesn't render you tearful for no good reason then you are a corpse already, its impeccably gloomy and rhythmically gorgeous and lush. Another night sees Skiba stretching his post punk vocals to express longing and loss and the lyrics and tune make for a catchy piece altogether. The lead single, patent pending was my intro to the band and I would like to see anyone not tap their feet to this quintessential dancey angular post punk goodness. If what I wrote above sounds appealing to you and if you want to learn what real goth is, pick up patent pending.
Patent Pending Poster
Fans of Matt Skiba's other band, Alkaline Trio, are already spreading the word about Heavens. Mining that rich, dark vein of 1980's songwriting that's suddenly back on the radio with a vengeance, this debut allows Skiba to explore a different side of his songwriting, calling upon the influence of the Sisters Of Mercy rather than the Ramones or Misfits as with Alkaline Trio. His lyrics are as beautiful as they are eerie, his vocal melodies at once darkly hypnotic and intensely catchy, while collaborator Josiah Steinbrick builds great minimalist guitar parts in the tradition of Wire and New Order. Producer Ben Lovett adds ambient backdrops and lush string arrangements, making the whole a beautiful decaying masterpiece, catchy enough to bring Alkaline Trio's legions along for the ride, darkly angular enough to intrigue fans of Interpol.Alternative Rock Music CDs
