MP3: The Bear Quartet - Battle hymn
The Bear Quartet's most recent album "Eternity now" picks up close to where the weirdo electro of "Saturday night" left off and then quickly takes it deeper into darker, far stranger territories. Opening track "Battle hymn" sets the stage. Explosions in the distance? The hiss of heavy machinery? Or is that a gas leak? And then comes the metallic throb, stuttering along at a not-so-steady pace. As for melodies, nothing sounds quite right. The keyboards are reduced to a cavernous howl and the guitars struggle with tuning. The effect however, is complete. Are you prepared for battle?
