MP3: The Low Frequency in Stereo - 21
Low Frequency in Stereo is a Norwegian band that's been slowly gathering a bit of a buzz over the last six months or so since the release of their most recent album "The last temptation of" in March. They kind of got that thick and fuzzy sound associated with what folks are calling a shoegazer revival, but we all know that lots of effects pedals does not necessarily equal shoegaze. LFIS has way too much boogie-woogie going on for that. It's way more Deep Purple than Jesus and Mary Chain. They do get a bit self-indulgent, spaced-out and droney on the ten-minute title track, but it's the exception, not the rule. Aside from the closer, not a single other track exceeds four minutes. It's still not in ye traditional verse-chorus pop formula, but again - that's the 70s rock influence shining through. Worthy of buzz? Eh, I don't love the record, but they've got promise. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
