Up-and-coming Norwegian singer/songwriter Robert Post is playing a "secret" gig at the Take The High Road Club at The Luminaire in London tonight.

New mp3s today from Frivolvol, a band from Finland who just released their new album "Frivolous vol 2: The false security program" via If Society (available for mailorder right here). Don't be expecting sweet pop like that Robert Post track I put up Monday - nope, this is some seriously intense hardcore, chock-full of twisted, chaotic riffs and throat-shredding screams. And for as brutal and crazy as this track is, I think it's actually one of the more straight-forward pieces. They have the capability to craft some ridiculously complicated music, but they also seem to understand that it's necessary to sometimes leave notes hanging. It's amazing how few other mathcore don't grasp the concept of contrasts. Oh, and speaking of contrasts, be sure to listen through to the coda. What a perfect way to bring the song to provide release and bring the song to a close.

Norway seems to be adept at exporting quality singer/songwriters these days. Both Sondre Lerche and Magnet seem to be doing quite well for themselves abroad and now there's upstart Robert Post to contend with. While I don't find his album as consistently good from beginning to end as the other aforementioned artists' most recent work, Robert is still a formidable entry into the genre. He's got such an amazingly effortless singing voice - just listen to the way he nails that high note on the final chorus of the song I've posted today. That kind of performance is simply undeniable. He sounds so natural and at-ease - he's a power-pop sensation just waiting to happen. Even though his just-released debut album tends to be a bit heavy on filler IMO, the three or four standout tracks do a fine job of making up for it. Definitely recommend for fans of Jason Falkner, Brendon Benson, Ben Christophers and the like.
