North East indie rockers
Kobadelta are back with a new, 5 track EP and it starts with a real statement
of intent. 'Supernatural Cause' has a menacing beat and sinister guitar twang
that is like the Doors playing a set on death row during a power cut. When the
fuzzy, distortion laden guitars kick in with a vengeance you get the feeling
that the locks on all the cells have just failed as well. Fittingly, the next
track is called 'Electric Chair' and has a Kasabian-esque energy to it whilst channelling
endles 80s British goth bands. The gentle acoustic intro to 'Not Above and Not
Behind' is a welcome respite from the murderous tones of the first two tracks
but the baritone vocal of front man Dom Noble and the lyrical content about a
deceased loved one keep everything thoroughly steeped in death and mortality. And
the theme continues with the death march rumble of Chris Malliris' drums at the
start of 'The Hidden Door' coupled with the subtle Dick Dale guitars and
growing swirl of feedback and distortion. Finishing up with 'Love Stoned Chic',
Kobadelta have once again proved their worth as expert purveyors of dark,
retro-inspired rock that would make Black Rebel Motor Cycle Club jealous.
Darkly delicious stuff surely something to be experienced live - hopefully on
the same bill as Dublin's September Girls as they would surely create something
of a magnificent noise together.
