Artist:
Ego Likeness
Overview:
Hard to categorize, easy to listen to. Breathy female vocals overflowing with emotion, both positive and negative, expertly conveying the triumph of survival and the anguish of damage expressed in the lyrics. Musically, similar to Curve in their ability to utilize both ethereal/trip hop and straight up rock-n-roll elements. Highly recommended.
Format:
CD
Details:
A few tracks on their last release, Dragonfly, hinted at the fact that the band was more than capable of expanding on the downtempo, Massive Attack-style groove that made up much of the disc. On this album, it"s no longer just a hint: Ego Likeness has knocked it up a notch. While several of the cuts on this album are still firmly in ethereal/trip-hop territory, most songs find Ego Likeness deftly building on that foundation with faster tempo, more guitar in the mix, and a general expression of emotion that is less held back and sedate than their previous release. Very artistic (and we mean that in a good way!], very compelling, very much recommended. Likely to appeal to fans of Curve and Collide. Release Date: July 20, 2004.Track Listing:
