Kalpana
|
| At times hauntingly
intricate and others brutally powerful, Hors De Combat melds spacey
melody and controlled chaos, as gentle flourishes bend, twist, build
and pop into battering rock. The intensely varied tracks find a young
band of four alternating vocal and instrumental duties on 50-plus
seamlessly flowing minutes of shifting combinations between guitars,
keys, buttons, beats, and drums. Some examples: Kalpana build atmosphere to its ultimate detonation in “Amber,” spin a disturbing tale in the quiet, refined pop of “Frozen Machines,” bring rumbling rock in “Sic” and “We Have Illegal Weapons,” bounce the keyboard hook-laden “Save Me” through your skull, allow you to drift along with “Don’t Move,” and tinge some unexpected but fully welcomed metallic fulminations through “34 Stories.” Though diverse, the album fits together conclusively into the solid yet manic puzzle of Kalpana. >>> Reviews >>> Artist's Profile >>> Tracklisting: 1.
