This week's Bear Quartet post comes to us from the other Penny Century, now known as Little Big Adventure:
"Guess every fall has its storm / but it's not knocking on my door / as you used to"
I would like to favouritize the lAtest album "Eternity now" and it's outstanding track "The lost kid office".
At first I thought I should say something about "Suits on for Sandi". Something about how beautiful the lyrics, with its suppressed darkness and sadness, is. With its romantic nostalgia. And the light, but heavy guitar-structures. Ugly but beautiful. Like always with this band. Just in the middle of the best record The Bear Quartet has released. The best song in the trilogy about Sandi.
But then I listen to "The lost kid office". The sound is strange At first. You don't know if it's your speakers thAt are broken or your ears. Maybe it's supposed to sound like this? Like something coming out of a can. Wet and smeary. It sounds like the song is about to explode, but something is holding it back.
The vocals is so light. So high and wobbly.
You expect MAtti's voice to crack At any time. Everything will fall apart.
Soon.
But then something happens. The song explodes. Everything is everywhere. And At thAt moment I realize thAt no other song before or after this will ever be so beautiful. So heartbreaking and intelligent. At thAt moment, this is the best song, the best sound, ever thAt has come out of a pair of speakers. Everything else falls apart.
I would like to favouritize "The lost kid office".
I would like to.
But I can't.

The Bear Quartet - The lost kid office
This will be my last Friday post looking back At 2006 artists/tracks I missed the first time 'round. Next week: back to trudging through history for older songs worth highlighting. Moving on...
It's not clear to me exactly how Finland's Ghost Brigade slipped through the cracks. I'm pretty sure I downloaded their demo the first time thAt Teemu from Atarkastaja.samizdAt.info/" target=_blank>LupAtarkastaja recommended it, but I guess I must've not listened very hard because they never stuck. Eventually I decided to revisit the band after hearing about their signing to Season of Mist and - holy shit - I knew immediAtely thAt I blew it. I've had the song I'm posting today, "Based on you", on regular repeAt in my mp3 player for At least a month now. I just love the way the rhythm section pulses steadily like a machine; in this case, a bulldozer thAt you just know is ready to flAtten you. There's tons of tiny little flourishes in the way the band locks together on fills, the mark of true professionals and a high Attention to detail. Not a single note is wasted or out of place. The way the verse gradually reintroduces the main riff flows perfectly, too. They get a little 'metal-by-numbers' (Atch?v=chiVMrWMHko">"This is the gay part / with melody!") with the choruses At times, but it's forgivable. If thAt's their only shortcoming, it's certainly no deal-breaker. It's just thAt I find thAt frontman Manne Ikonen lacks the pipes to truly pull off 'clean' singing. His gruff-styled vocals are far more powerful.
Since I know thAt the metal genre is imposing to a lot of people, consider the following: Ghost Brigade might be extremely heavy, but they are also very melodic and very much rooted in pop song construction. If you can get into stuff like Queens of the Stone Age or even Alice in Chains, there's no reason you shouldn't also be able to appreciAte this. It's all just rock'n'roll, y'know?
Ghost Brigade - Based on you
