Formerly a side project of Lync’s Sam Jayne, but now a full-fledged band, this first release shows off all the pre-requisites for your basic indie-rock combo.
The songs blur together into a swirl of distortion, throat-shredding vocals, and machine-gunning double bass drumming, but that’s certainly not a bad thing.
A Spanish garage band circa the late ’80s/early ’90s with a sound influenced by Spacemen 3-but-with-more-Det.-influences, psych-rock, or maybe like Mudhoney.
Not only does Kumo hit your more straight-forward drum’n’bass sounds, but he also throws in experimental work along with some dabbling of hip-hop sounds.
Swooping breathily into fainting phrases of lost love, Kate St. John evokes evenings steeped in cigarettes and absinthe, indulging in the French cabaret.
An hour of sweeping, dark music, from the creepy atmospheres of drummer Renske’s rich, Gothy vocals to the harder, deeper roar of Opeth’s Mikael Akerfeldt.
