Silver's new album "Wolf chasing wolf" sounds like they broke into Satyricon's studio, locked the doors behind them and got all doped up. It's so harsh and negative, violent and paranoid; yet the huge trashrock hooks remain fully intact. The vital punkrock urgency, too. I just never thought I'd be so into a rock'n'roll record that sounded so unnatural. "Drenched in comfort" isn't as much of a pop song as the rest of their material, but I love the ominous chanting and drumline beats. And those leads! It's so great to hear a band pull together all sorts of disparate influences together and forge their own path.
Silver - Drenched in comfort
BodebrixenThis album is pure happiness overdose! Throughout its 35 minutes there is not a sign of a single minor key scale. Bodebrixen remain loyal to pop orthodoxy and invite you to an endless and effortless sing-a-long. Upbeat melodies backed-up with trombones, trumpets, synths, xylophones, male/female harmonies and naïve lyrics such as:
- Vasilis Panagiotopoulos
