This
is the debut release by a cool young Danish band led by their guitar player and
singer, Lau. The band is a 5 piece with two guitars, bass, drums, keys and
percussion back up singer. They sing all their songs in Danish and have pretty
cool lyrics as Lau also writes surrealistic poetry and has published his first
book last month. Anyway, things get started with Jeg graver huller i Mørket (I
dig holes in the Darkness). This track is a organ driven track with a really
nice groove and straight out of the 60s…. the organ line is one used a million
times and even can be found on other Danish bands records like The Setting Son
and really dominates the sound mix with all other instruments pushed to the
back besides the voice. Anyway, a cool song and lip the record over for the
shorter track,
Taget Noget (Take Anything). This track has the guitar and bass
mixed more to the front to drive the track and sounds more like the band does
live. Lau has a special voice but I like it. While the band are not breaking
any new ground, and sound very retro, they write really good songs and are an
excellent live band. The band has finished mastering their first full length
record and this will be released on Levitation Records in March. A single sided
12” will also be released with their long nearly 20min track that is very Pink
Floyd inspired when they play it live called Fribytterdrøme.
