Title: Deceit
Artiste: This Heat
Genre: Experimental/Noise/Post-punk (Damn you, Frownland! Again!)
Love
Nick Cavelike singing on “Sleep”
Kind of hypnotic rhythm. Hypnotic.
Must ... kill ... Justin .. Bieber...Every ... body ... wins!
Really like the bass on “Paper hats”
Waitsy vibe to “Triumph”
“Independence” is pretty cool. Don't know any other band who have used the words of the American Constitution as their lyric! I like the drony, bored tone in it also; sets the satirical seal on the song.
Hate
Screaming singing on “Paper hats”
One of the tracks (dunno which one as Spotify hadn't the album and I'm listening to one of those YouTube full album deals) consists of nothing but noises and a voice that comes and goes, like someone constantly de-tuning a radio. Really ****ing annoying.
Last track is just too weird!
End result: A lot better than I expected. Some very good songs and some good ideas. Even some of the quirkiness was ok, some of it on a Waits-experimental level.
So, Love or Hate? Oddly enough, I'd put it in the Love pile.
