4.0 out of 5 stars Dark, Subtle, and Powerful July 19, 2012

By T. A. Daniel TOP 500 REVIEWER

Cold Specks' music has been characterized as "doom soul." Her music is a unique mix, and the closest comparison I can think of is probably Santigold. "Blank Maps" is drenched in southern gospel with gothic, dark, and motivated lyrics. It's a great listen, but its chorus may offend a few listeners: "I am, I am a god-****ed leader." The instrumentation used here is pretty minimal, with most of the music consisting of a bare, clean guitar. "Blank Maps" sounds great, and it's dynamic -- when vocalist Al Spx gets loud, the song actually feels more powerful.

Listeners who enjoy this song are encouraged to seek out Cold Specks' full length I Predict a Graceful Expulsion.

I've not heard anything else by this band - but this song is amazing. Highly recommended, and I know I'm gonna keep an ear open for more from them.

I'd never heard of this group but decided to check it out, because it was free. I love it! It makes me feel secluded in a cabin in the snow somewhere.
