Fascinating, enigmatic art-rock

Scattered in the vast cosmos of music small, inconspicuous but fascinating new sound-planet discovered yet again. Somewhere, far behind the sun, attracts lonely "A Whisper in the Noise" orbit - very easy to overlook, but it is worthwhile to take a trip to this mysterious world of sound. Catch all times on a!

"A Whisper in the Noise" is an art-rock project of the American West Thordson, who is also responsible for vocal and most instruments. The key element of music is the piano. They are joined by acoustic guitar, sometimes a cello and a drum which drags itself not only by the songs, but the tempo sometimes VER-drags. Will say: this music often takes place in slow motion; where perhaps comparable "iLiKETRAiNS" drama and pathos would use to put "A Whisper in the Noise" breaks, breaks that subliminally much more dramatic and more threatening, however, are as many notes - as would the boiler always just before exploding.

Once he cooks but then on, the boiler: the 6th piece of "Sons" bratzt an electric guitar to a simple but painful reef in the tense semi-silence, the song will be distorted, aggressive - that's raw pure energy (?) ! Roh is actually the sound of the entire album, as it had been recorded live in a bare basement room - but that seems to be concept, and a very archaic. The final piece, a quieter, plucked on the Classical Guitar 3-minute film, is a masterpiece of minimalism.

What is supposed to be such a good music? I dont know! But this sound, this minimalism, this slowness, the unplayed notes, this subliminal drama - they exert a peculiar fascination, a musical maelstrom that simply exist to meet without a specific purpose. This is music to reading between the lines, as a delayed Org * SMUs as a cryptic response that raises ten new questions.

For the curious, musical explorers a real - albeit very melancholy - tidbits - perhaps puzzling to others. Courageous, record an album, so the passing on broad musical taste and thereby is still perfect! I like it!
