MP3: The Movements - Save me
Been too long since I've posted some quality Scandinavian rock'n'roll, especially if it didn't come the label Transubstans. The Movements' name is forgettable (at best), but their new album "The world, the flesh and the devil" on Alleycat Records is totally solid the whole way through and there's a couple tracks towards the end that are certifiably great. "Save me" is one of them; its cascading riff reminds me of "Nevermore", my favorite song from The Soundtrack of Our Lives. The Movements have a murkier, more mourn-some atmosphere though, no doubt helped along by the gurgle of the organ. More of a fantastical comic book store vibe too, though I kind of dig that about them. The entrance of the strings doesn't quite do the duty of "Nevermore"'s ripping solo, but there is another thing that links the band back to TSOOL and that's producer Björn Olsson. Yes, I know Björn was no longer associated with TSOOL by "Behind the music", but in my due diligence I did discover that he shares a songwriting credit on the number in question. Surprise! I honestly had no idea until right this second. Anyhow, great songs; both of them.
