Wednesday, 27 February 2008The Humanity on Happy Release records Artist: THE HUMANITY A - Bass Linear B - Hollywood Label: Happy Release Records Quantity Pressed: 500 Release Date: 17th Mar 2008 Happy Release records is putting together an impressive early roster of artists in their embryonic arsenal: Spilt milk, Dirty hands, and Molloy. This is an impressive bunch with really unique sounds. I would say the only common thread might be this extreme leaning of each band, there's no middle ground with any of these sounds, they have a distinct vision that you either like and fanatically get or probably hate, either way they have cvered their bases...you'll fit into one of these camps. Bass Linear is full of the frantic strained vocals of 'Thorntocon', (that name is nothing with bandmates like 'Liq Weed Ganja'). He sounds something like Tim Harrington of Les Savy Fav with this menacing 'I will make you dance' attitude. Musically they could be cousins of the Brooklyn super group. They share the slightly off synth heavily produced punk footprint. On top of everything this frenetic pace is separating it from the usual indie rock that you're bored with half way through the A side. There's a particular sound in this dance/art/rock style that can easily be attributed to experience rocking live, there's no substitute for the energy and feeding off a crowd. It can't be faked or learned. It's one thing to play in your bedroom, constructing everything perfectly in this noise disco world but to get out and perform with all it's imperfections will change you as a musician, you can hear that however limited experience on this A-side track, that was begging to be a single. The Humanity is quickly killing their idols, and attempting to leave every genre and band in their wake, they don't necessarily have to burn the mother down to get some attention....They certainly have that youthful cynicism down, calling their music the soundtrack to the cultural and financial depression of 2008....wow... we'll have on the turntable while we tie the noose, Thanks.
