Early Signs of Denial is set
for release on the 13th May 2016 and produced by Dave Baksh out of
the Gentleman’s Den studio in Pickering, Ontario and mixed and mastered by
Frank Gryner.
‘The
Wild’ Kick starts the E.P with a tumultuous rumble that really gets under the
skin and infects like a rabid disease. It’s a real rebel rouser that engages on
a strong level and motivated by a reinforced sound. Weaving a compelling and
textured rhythm it clearly is catchy and kind of bewitching.
‘Is
this Life’ is another wholesome track incorporating hearty strides and a very
heartfelt vocal lure that awakens a climatic drama unfolding with some rewarding
results. The very track holds so much and is increasingly imaginative and
creative with plentiful rhythm holding compelling encounters along the way.
‘Berj
Khalifa’ is extremely uplifting, this track goes into overdrive with brooding
rhythmic patterns and spicy swagger! The catchiness creates mischief, creeps up
and hones in on the senses.
As
this track title would suggest is that the band are singing about “Burj
Khalifa, known as Burj Dubai before its inauguration and is a mega-tall
skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the tallest structure in the
world, standing at 829.8 m!” Although the band have used a slightly different
spelling.
‘Pigs’
is not a shy track and has a superb swagger of infectious rhythm attached to
it. It sort of pulls you up short and begs for attention throwing out melodies
from all angles and is quite raw in delivery.
‘Now’
doesn’t beat around the bush either! It slaps an overwhelming catchiness around
the audial, brutalising with a strong vocal screech and lyrically appealing.
The attitude says it all and finds the track giving on all levels with a
stirring quality.
The
final track entitles ‘winter’ hones in on some fiery strings and superb
drumming that accompanies an edgy vocal lure, and like Piranhas, Black Absinthe make use of their talent
offering biting chords and a drilling of hyper activity that digs a deep hole
into the psyche that manifests as temptingly refreshing.
It
is one quite impressive EP that goes all out to impress. It is hard to imagine
that just three guys could make such an impact, but they do! Quite a robust six
tracker that is distinct and captivating!
There
is a good warmth and depth to Black
Absinthe! Go enjoy!
