One of the good things about listening to music in other languages is that when you don't understand the text, you're free to concentrate on the quality of the music. From that, I gleaned that Icarus Crash is a very tight outfit whose members work very well together. Their sound is wonderfully balanced between the instruments and vocals, and achieves that wonderful state of being solid rock, but not being overpowering.
A very nice album.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I'm not normally a dub/electronic fan, but this album immediately appealed to me. It has a substantial, deep sound which nevertheless manages not to overpower the listener. It also achieves the difficult balance of being minimal while never lacking energy.
I'm impressed.
These guys make some pretty fantastic sounds, with a masterful crossover between hard rock and folk/jazz. This was the reason it held my interest; it was simply unlike anything I'd heard before. Had it just been rock, without elements of other genres mixed in, I doubt I would've even given it 5. But the boundary-straddling sound of the band really gives it something unique and worth listening to.
This band really comes at their sound from the rock side. It would be interesting to hear some more of the folk elements in 1 or 2 tracks, making more use of the accordion and the voice.
I'll be looking out for more of these guys.
