| Unwave - Exhale EP |
More great new music from Leeds
now as post-rock trio Unwave have a snarling, scratching EP for your ears - be
warned, it might make your ears bleed though. In a good way. Reassuringly,
opening track 'Flicker' starts off with an At The Drive-In sized riff and
continues with the attitude of a confused, disorientated but excited Golden
Retriever. 'FPS' has a more mellow feel to it with deep, low slung riffs
playing out underneath Cable-esque vocals and atop bone rattling drums. Just
when you think 'Continuation Off Course' is going to be a slow-burning, lighter
waving ballad, it turns in to an altogether darker, more primal piece of music
that lasts for the best part of 7 minutes and takes more twists and turns than
a night out with your mates that starts out as a couple of pints and ends up
with you waking up in a disused theme park, naked in the rollercoaster. The
last of the four tracks on this EP, 'Sixtieht Mile', has a delicate feel to it
in a Sebadoh kind of way as the hypnotic guitar riff builds oh-so-slowly from a
Sunday morning, post binge slumber before emerging, chrysalis-like in to a
jagged edged, bad-ass butterfly. Unwave are the kind of band I like to listen
to for hours in the wee smalls when the lights are low and the darkness is all encompassing.
