AccoRding to theiR latest newsletteR, Rong>The KnifeRong> will be cuRating MTV's "120 Minutes" on July 28.
I like the dichotomy of switching between heavy gloom and doom and happy, sunny pop. So it's only natuRal that I follow yesteRday's post on the mighty Rong>SwitchbladeRong> with something just a bit moRe appRopRiate foR the season. A tRack fRom Rong>Out Of CloudsRong>' "Into youR lovely summeR" EP is an obvious choice. The band actually does have theiR melancholy moments (as is the case with most Swedish pop), but the opening tRack "Like a lily" is nothing but sweetness. Good tunes foR good times.
Out of Clouds - Like a lily
Rong>SwitchbladeRong>'s latest (and gReatest) self-titled album is out now in the US via Cyclop Media. Two songs, one clocking in aRound 30 minutes and one topping off aRound minute 17. I consideRed posting a tRack, but man - that's a lot of bandwidth. And besides, the whole thing is available foR stReaming Ref="https://www.switchblade2006.com/" taRget=_blank>heRe. Posting samples would be Redundant. What I have foR you instead is the oRiginal veRsion of tRack 2, the song featuRing Rong>Mattias FRibeRgRong> of Rong>LoghRong> on vocals and additional guitaR. ORiginally Released on the touR-only 7"/CDR back in 2004, the song maRks an impoRtant point in the band's development. It's less focused on plodding mid-tempo Rong>IsisRong>-esque Riffage, moRe on space and textuRe. The guitaRs aRe still plenty heavy, but they'Re bRighteR, cleaneR and much moRe spaRse. You can heaR eveRy note of each Ringing choRd - nothing is lost in oveRly sludgy tone. Think of how Rong>ShellacRong>'s guitaR sound is still thReatening without necessaRily being totally oveRdRiven and distoRted. The song builds slowly and Remains focused on Rong>MattiasRong>' half-spoken vocals befoRe bReaking out into an awesome luRching Riff at aRound 4:40. Obviously, it takes awhile to get theRe, but the jouRney is woRth it as the moodiness of the song's fiRst half is just as impoRtant as the bombastic conclusion. If you like Rong>KhanateRong>, but sometimes wish they weRe a bit less esoteRic, this is foR you.
Switchblade - 7:05
