POW!
Our cd's been reviewed, hurray!
From the Nottingham Evening Post, yesterday:
4/5
Pan Pipes From The Grave, eh? What a marvellous name for a band. Conjuring images of the eerie and the ridiculous, PPftG sound as bizarre as their name.
It was an Accident mixes huge beats and crashing cymbals with swirls of distorted background noise and buzzing buss. Melodically, the four-piece rely on sparse keyboards and throbbing guitars, fuzzy and drenched in static.
Vocally, mantras are grimaced into the mic through gritted teeth. It's not particularly comfortable listening - at times the mix of male and female vocals sounds like a demented Scissor Sisters. There are very good ideas here. The only downside among the brutal beats is a lack of dynamics.
It's all very loud and never very quiet, except on Spades. But Pan Pipes from The Grave are still a lot of fun, and that's great.
So buy one, whydontcha?!?!??!? :D
Went to the Blue Note last night, and MY GOD it's disgusting. I cannot stand the amount of kids in there and I feel proper old maoning but JESUS the state of some of them! Plus, this morning I seem to smell faintly of weed. DESPITE showering.
