Antemasque - In The Lurch (Nadine Sound/Caroline
International)
 |
| Antemasque - In The Lurch |
Well here's a treat for you.
Cedric Bixler is one of those musicians who divides opinion but there is an
almost unanimous sense that whatever he does is of worth and certainly worthy
of a few minutes in your ears. Bixler's latest vehicle is Antemasque and latest
single, 'In The Lurch', is coming ahead of their new album due out in November.
As you might expect, this is a furious melee of guitars scrapping with flailing
drums all driven along by a throbbing bassline. The semi-shouted vocals and
rhythmic chiming of those guitars draw you in to a hypnotic, slightly
aggressive but nevertheless melodic and compelling world. Like I said, Bixler
is a compelling character writing equally compelling music surrounded by a
group of musicians who are at the very least able to keep up with the
intensity. Furious stuff.
