This
is a fairly new Finnish band and I am still not sure what to make of them after
hearing this album several times. This is their 2nd release. The CD starts off with Strange as it feels and
you will notice the QOTSA influence straight away especially the way the chorus
and guitar line sync together. The end of the songs has a cool psyched out
guitar section. Bravado, Bluff and beauty is next and starts off driven by
mainly bass and vocals before the guitar riff kicks in. They mix in some cool
sections in all the songs and have several guests on flute, violin, cello and
castanets. . The CD has some more moody tracks that start slowly as well like Travel
in Style and State of the Art. One More Bend, Once Again is the last song and
an uptempo rocker. It is sometimes very mainstream and not like stuff I like at
all but then other times they suck you in with these really cool psychedelic
rock songs. I would say the best comparison is they are the Finnish equivalent
of QOTSA. Musically, they are very good at sounding just like QOTSA but the
vocals are unique.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
