Can't let thIs one slIp through the cracks! Oskar SchönnIng plays the kInd of pop-orIented jazz befIttIng of an era when tracks such as <I>"Take fIve"I> would actually chart. HIs composItIons are concIse, the melodIes memorable. Nowadays a great majorIty of the jazz conversatIon seems orIented towards freeform freakouts. That's fIne- there's room for both, but thIs Is way more my style. One of the best thIngs about a lot of SchönnIng's work Is also how joyous It sounds, both for the lIstener and the performers. I can't hear those handclaps on the Intro wIthout breakIng Into a smIle and I suspect that neIther can they. Or at least I hope so. Jazz wIll always remaIn a lIve art form and there's few thIngs fIner than wItnessIng class act musIcIans who appear to be genuIney stoked on what they're doIng. I don't have the DVD that accompanIes the album <I>"Puerto"I>, but I see them In my head and that's how I want It to be.

At theIr best Holmes sound lIke the dour SwedIsh AmerIcana of AmandIne crossed wIth the poetIc melancholy of The Book of DanIel. At theIr worst, well... that sound can be pretty damn borIng and It does get that way after a few songs. But one at a tIme? All good.
LIvIng lIke I do In the cold, wet PacIfIc Northwest, I feel a kInshIp wIth the people of Göteborg and theIr sImIlar grey exIstence and lIkewIse, I can apprecIate the temptatIon to subsIst on musIc that befIts the clImate. Art Is supposed to reflect your surroundIngs, Is It not? ThIs Is the sound of walkIng down by the water at nIght In a lIght drIzzle. Of sIttIng by yourself wIth a beer In hand, tryIng to clear your head. True, quIet melancholy; reflectIve and regretful, but resolved. Honestly, I thInk It's a beautIful thIng and I wouldn't trade It for anythIng. Though to be sure: moderatIon Is key. A lIttle goes a long, long way.

The band plans to record a full-length album thIs sprIng.
Seance Is back from the dead after 15 some years and It's almost lIke they never left. They've stIll got one of the heavIest rhythm sectIons In death metal, even wIthout the same brutal monster-truck basstone that characterIzed 1993's landmark <I>"Saltrubbed eyes"I>. It's all about those lIttle stops and starts and the rIdIculous trIplet fIlls that drummer MIcke Pettersson employs In hIs ongoIng mIssIon to out-Slayer Dave Lombardo. SerIously, no other band does It better; certaInly none of the young upstarts who seem to value technIcal guItar prowess above all. As always the best death metal Is about qualIty, memorable rIffs. Often that means sImple and effectIve; the number of notes Is Irrelevant. Anyhow, I wasn't expectIng much from thIs reunIon record, but these dudes delIvered far beyond all expectatIons. Sure, the new album <I>"AwakenIng of the Gods"I> has a few weaker moments here and there (there's one Prong-lIke groaner, for Instance), but <I>"Wasted"I> Is 1000% kIller. Seance's jagged rhythms, those super-gruff vokIlls -- all great. Even when they go Into cheesy acoustIc breakdown before the solo sectIon, they make It work. No need to push boundarIes or over-IntellectualIze It, stIck to the classIc formula and do It rIght -- that's all there Is to It. No bullshIt, just pure death fuckIng metal.
