It is these days. Days on which you "Dredg" encounters works by bands / artists such as leading a once in mind why you decided for fostering music as a real hobby.
The four Californians are good. really good. So good that I have to restrain myself as I write here about them in order not to be obsessive. The following, somewhat skeptical impression-making helps me (so far) this:
"El Cielo" does not sound like that is a second album a relatively "young" (in dredg no one over thirty) band .. It is full of self-confidence, is playful in any moment-to-closed and by the unconventional use a huge bandwidth (try counting) of instruments highly progressive. Even Radiohead have used at least four albums until she could claim this level of musical expression for themselves with "Kid A" / wanted. So what drives a - or four - the mid-twenty-somethings to want to express themselves in such an early (musical) stage of development in this way? Is that finally the new generation of musicians, where you can give in good conscience hope and heart to protect them from horrible Einheitsbreiverköstigung on the way? You want it to (almost) my. Models of Gavin Hayes and co. are well known, Miles Davis, Radiohead, Tool and Air. influences of these bands / artists are immediately audible. Only surprising that even the latter have started small.
Conclusion: Dredg uses where Radiohead and his associates had arrived much later. But: Where shall we end? Can they maintain this standard? Have you ever spent its ammunition with "El Cielo"? Or have even made me more disappointed hopes in recent music history parochial?
I am definitely the first to stand for the next dredg disk queue to get answers. Answers that I will possibly get a tattoo on the (close) my forehead "Dredg". Too skeptical one should, after all, not be ..
