I will cut to the chase here – ‘F#A#ooXxx’ is a fractured, flawed, apocalyptic album of outstanding reach and vision, particularly for a debut release. Yes, it lacks cohesion, the beginning and end of three long tracks here seem quite arbitrary, but I believe this to be the whole point of the record. The cover photo gives a massive clue as to what you can expect – a blurred, desolate roadside snap taken on the move – for this album takes the listener on a journey through multiple segments of sound just like a long road trip through ever-changing countryside, towns and cities. And what a selection of sounds they are. One after another come spoken word samples, a haunting late-night train, delicate melodies and full blasts of the band’s unique guitar-driven ‘orchestral’ sound. The highlight of the record is ‘East Hastings’ the post-apocalyptic power and cinematic scope of which was used so effectively in the film ’28 Days Later’ as the camera pans over a deserted London. The diversity of sound is so dizzying that admittedly listening to the whole album in one sitting is an emotionally draining experience. The mood is unremittingly bleak. Towards the end the quality drops a little and some of the idiosyncracies jar somewhat, for example the long, pointless pause before the final piece. However, to summarise, this record delivers a unique listening experience which will obviously not be to everyone’s taste but is a landmark in modern music for its breadth and ambition.Vollständige Rezension lesen
