MP3: Villebråd - Vaknar aldrig
One last Transubstans-affiliated mp3 for this week: Villebråd is an anomaly in the label's roster in that they aren't very heavy at all, at least not anymore. Progressive, yes, but also way more synth/post-punk than rock'n'roll. It's a streamlined sound, very clean and sharp and with a dark, artsy edge. "Vaknar aldrig" is all awkward up-and-down riffs, trading voices and speaking in staccato rhythms. So yeah, things get complicated, yet they've got everything so honed and locked down that it never feels messy, no matter how many different things are going on (and there are a lot). It's still not as immediately satisfying as the other Villebråd track I posted years ago, but it still sticks out for being undeniably interesting.
