New mp3 today from Logh, one of the best bands in Sweden - no, fuck it - one of the best, most exciting bands in the world right now. I've debated with myself about posting a track from the new album "A sunset panorama" because it so very hard to separate the individual tracks from the work as a whole. I'd barely even call them songs, as they're more akin to chapters in a story - they just don't make nearly as much sense when isolated from the entire piece. It has taken me quite a few listens to really understand this album because there's just so much to take in and so much of it is so subtle. The band's sheer audacity to track the whole recording live in one 10-hour session would've been enough to merit acclaim from me, but that they completed the task with such brilliant results takes it to another level. When I listen to Logh, I'm filled with feelings of both dread and yearning - it's a sense of melancholy that eludes simple description but is totally captivating and overwhleming. Listening to one song is just a mere glimpse of their greatness - this is music that is meant to be absorbed and contemplated. One of the best albums of 2005? Yes, I have no doubt.
