REVIEWS III


PILOTS - OUR TONGUES TAXIDERMIC
there must be a debut EP sound: uncompromising and courageous. Free of all conventions of a genre classic and sound structures. Our Taxidemic Tongues is as a debut, and ensures that pilots can secure a spot on the indie rock pedestal.

The band is geographically from Vienna, their socialization, however, took place in the hardcore and punk, although this is not a publication suggests little. However, it deals a little deeper into the history of the band members, we find at once-known and long forgotten bands, such as Plague Mass and Dimitrij again, where you previously played around his neck. There, instead of shouting and crashing guitar riffs on it the 4-track EP now, however intricate guitar melodies that get lost in some parts and a scout's drumming, that would almost go so by disco beat. Dance to this record is not modified by a bass playing, which makes sure that the feet of each listener's rhythmic pounding on the floor. Resistance futile! The whole is rounded off by an obscure high, partly Frene, but always melodic vocals, to the not even tried that we are dealing here with a singer who certainly are all Cure and Smiths plates at home on the shelf.

pity that this debut consists of only four tracks, because this band is not boring. One can only hope, that it is now the indie rock faithful to and does not fall into old patterns Hardcore. The vinyl also appears in a fancy DIY outfit - so that's been!


NUFA - THE WEATHER IS BEAUTIFUL TODAY breathe

first time: The weather is beautiful today, produced with the assistance of himself such a sensory overload that brings the silence after a the expected redemption. But that's the end of the story, and not the beginning ...

NUFA come from Leipzig, and went for the first time attention to herself when she was four years ago published their first long player. Then it was quiet around the quintet, and now they are just there again - and louder than ever. If the opener still quite spherical, and therefore quiet, so it hails in the following tracks guitars, drums and bass, as there would be no tomorrow. The second part of the board that operated at a minimalism that the previous offers a contrast that fits like chalk and cheese. If there were this release on vinyl, then one would speak of concept. As the whole, however, on a silver disc comes along only once you shake your head and then comes to the conclusion that it's not really fit. Jazzy, rippling piano vs. ProgRock distorted guitar - something is not there. Even the singing is not held on the publication of the House really Klangbad its place. Monotonous chant monotonous speech and then follows the attempt of melodies full of corners and edges. The lyrics range from kitsch and of imagination, the only goose bumps, which prepares a plate that gets you through the induced foreign Cham. Then suddenly a text in the 90's punk garb ...

I'm not a fan of concept albums, but unfortunately not a fan of bands that point to a publication that they are more varied than the charts. And, yes that is way too much ...
