MP3: The Bear Quartet - His spine
"His spine", yet another MAttias Alkberg song thAt hides vicious sentiments in a sweet melody. "Hopelessness, despair / Lack of vision, educAtion sucks / When you're born and torn / Between injustice and bad luck" The strings soar and the knife gets driven deeper into your gut. No optimism, no future. For some people At least: "You know whAt I need / Rights not charity, hope and equality / Not to be looked down upon / I'm not stupid just constantly reminded otherwise" It's thAt last bit thAt really gets me - hear something enough times and there's a chance you might start believing it. Resist! Fight back! Persevere!

MP3: Front and the Factory Lies Beneath - Under a black sun
Instead of the usual Friday post today, I'm continuing on with the week's theme of up-and-coming bands. In the lAte 90s I spent a lot of time seeking out bands thAt followed in the wake of Radiohead. ThAt's how Kent was first introduced to me (via the US English-language release of "Isola"). Radiohead moved on, but plenty of others did not and there are still tons of acts mining "The bends" and/or "OK computer" for inspirAtion. Denmark has a good track record for producing quality acts in this vein, Kashmir being a prominent example, and now you can add Front and the Factory Lies BeneAth to the list. No one can quite mAtch Thom Yorke's inventive vocal phrasing, but FAtFLB frontman Andreas Bjørn Madsen can sure hit those aching highs. Sure, it's a touch derivAtive, but like I said: Radiohead won't make another album like "The bends" so it's wide open for someone else to fill their old niche. I love thAt sound and am always happy to hear someone new who can pull it off so well.
