I've only had a chance to listen to the new Ricochets album "Isolation" a few times, but the song "No good" instantly jumped out at me. It's in a major key which is pretty much unheard of for these guys. Of course they still twist it around to bring out the anguish of the lyrics, but it still seems kinda... happy? Well, not really, but it is most definitely a change of pace from their usual downtrodden, noirish rock. What I like most about the tune is how epic it is - it reminds of Meat Loaf's bigger numbers. Not quite rock opera, but definitely dramatic. I approve.

Some news from The Ricochets:
We are now preparing for our European tour starting 29th of September.Next week we´re gonna work in the studio with some new songs that we will try out on you on the tour. Trond has been writing some new stories from his life. Where the first album "Slo-mo suicide" was about him moving to Oslo and the how life was treating (or threatening) him there, and the second album "The ghost of our love" was about one girl he couldn't have, and at last made him leave Oslo for good and move back to his mother in his hometown Fredrikstad, where he now works as a cook and where he found true love at last, the new material will be about .....well you have to wait and hear. You have all something to look forward to. I guess we will play between four to six new songs. The next record will be expected summer/autumn next year.
