Postures are Swedish rock band that plays quite complex
music with intense drumming and bass playing. This is the bands 2nd
album. They are lead by Paulina on vocals, Benjamin and Viktor on guitars,
David on Bass, keys and effects, and Isak on drums, keys and effects. The album
features 6 tracks between 5 and 12 mins and one short one just over 2mins. The
music is very much dominated by the vocals, which are way out front much of the
time and quite intense. Amazing singer but too much for me. This is not your
standard progressive style rock in that there are rarely any solos of any times
from the musicians but an album of changing moods, guitar textures and
feelings. The promo sheet compares the band to YES and Pink Floyd but I never
would have raised those comparisons after hearing the CD twice (and reading the
promo sheet after!). The music is full of a lot of feeling and intensity in the
playing. Drums and bass playing can at
times be like mars Volta, I guess but there are almost no traditional guitar
solos. Paulina is singing 80% of the time so you have to really have full focus
on this and really like the vocal. I
could find it a bit overpowering. Pity the lyrics were not included in the
CD. Check this band out below.
