MP3: Death By Kite - Himmelfahrtskommando
At a cursory glance, Death By Kite seems an awful lot like countrymates Figurines. A hyperactive, lock-step rhythm section; frenetic, jangly guitars; a squeaky, androgynous frontman. That is until the layers of delay start overlapping, turning the guitars into a shimmering beast and then you realize that, hey - those lyrics are quite a bit darker than anything you've heard from those other Danes. "Your love is a scar on my glass marble-eyes / It forces me to always keep you in sight / I cut myself quite severely / Blood and flesh filled the city I live in" and so on. And that's tame compared to some of the other suicidal musings on the record. Death By Kite puts noise catharsis to good use as therapy. Get it out, feel better.
