5.0 out of 5 stars
home for Easter and I got back my name, December 30, 2008
This review is from: Taro Tarot (Audio CD)
While talking about her own and other art music in a recent interview, Berlin art-punk Gudrun Gut states "...you really need to be able to create your own bubble and live in that bubble for a while". Chicago/Brooklyn's These Are Powers is a good example of a band who takes this to heart, as the band continues to hone their screaming, tribal sound (a good thing). The most interesting example of this "something old (and still cool), something slightly new" is "All Night Services" where bassist Pat Noecker takes on lead vocals: he follows a lyrical blues style, pairing his mystical phrases ("went home for Easter and I got back my name") over the band's Gamelan ensemble meets early Neubauten mayhem. Still just as heavy, Noecker, Anna Barie and newcomer Bill Salas find just that much more control over the dynamic chaos and get better with each release.
