Wednesday, 10 October 2007Atlantis / Karhide split on Field records Atlantis/Karhide split 7" a) Atlantis – This is Heavy b) Karhide - Ride Field records Released: Sept. 22, 2007 I was just talking to a friend about how I'm still going through an instrumental post-post rock phase. I can't get enough of pelican, explosions in the sky or anything even remotely connected to or emulating. Atlantis wasn't going that direction at first but around the five minute mark it's become completely saturated with a thousand guitars. There still is a club/electronic feel to this track, and I think it could have benefited greatly from some live drums, it keeps reminding me this is a computer. At first it sounded like... well a little like a lost dj shadow track, from entroducing, I don't know what's going on lately, then some reverb cure guitars come in, and I think we're headed towards disintegration, but a static sample starts tearing it all apart, and comes back together with layers and layers. It's nice...still just a little too studio clean for my tastes it doesn't break away from a million effects on a million guitars jamming... somewhere close to the end there is something interesting happening in the complete breakdown... but then it's back to the computers with an ambient fadeaway. Karhide hails from maine, according to his myspace, and I can see how this track could be created there. Of course all I can see is a rocky coast and waves just pounding it. It's probably raining too. It's moody and life is hard, and boring. I'm almost hearing Red Sparowes, but a really high pitch feedback sound is making this really difficult to like. There's more rock than electronic influence here, it just takes a minute to come through. I hope this is played live with guitars. I would love it if there was a backing track to a guy standing onstage shoegazing along building waves of sound up. Maybe this is a new subgenre being created by these two, they certainly are related (thank you field recs). Maybe that's the next step, get rid of the other musicians and create an electronic foundation for guitars to work out their issues.
