Dartz! - The Sad History of the Village of Alnerique

While virtually has no chance to escape the phone Mucke from Proll around the corner, while one is forced to Katy Perry's admittedly well-produced (but no more) hit the ears , torture is at some point you ever question the meaning of the music industry mainstream radio.
Luckily, there are also in this Story of a dashing hero - Union Jack blowing in the wind strong, here you can hear the new album by the Fratellis on the road. Of course, it also sees in the UK not quite like that, but the music scene not as roaming around the ponds of the notes as in the home, is self
Yet even there, most of the bands that the NME times just not his Favorites has chosen, criminally ignored.
"Dartz" (formerly "Dartz!") Were measured by the quality of their music earned a worldwide success. But never came, even as the North British with their debut album "This Is My Ship" fed the market.
A wonderful work was that, and Dartz ¡Forward Russia! could and can be measured with a measure. With the Russian fans Dartz then went on tour as the opening act, and they earned the musical hearts of their followers sprälich sown.
is Now, "The Sad History of the Village of Alnerique" appeared. To anticipate one thing clear: This is a mini-album of eight tracks, it may therefore be well and often referred to as EP.
The direction was guitarist Henry Carden announced already in the interview with the white tapes Indie E-Zine - Serious, Thoughtful, adult should be the sound of the new album.
It was even the first album not just a comedy show!
The record begins with "The Arrival, Building Alnerique and slow Math-pop solo with vocals in the background. Explodes this session as the singer of the imaginary wall breaks and the typical Dartz sound, by many with "dance-punk", dubbed greets one.
And although Dartz -typical, the song is still really a measure of development to discern - of positive development, the chorus is good over mobile tunes, even though he'll probably never, as far
The song ends as it began -.. and you have recognize envy: Dartz manage to create a certain atmosphere Few bands get the point so well, the (late) are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bloc Party, the most famous, their music. it is based.
The second piece is called "Oskar & Ofelia" and is written in the same style as its predecessor - adult, mainstream-suited, but still Dartz.
But despite a growing recognition that the North must have heard a lot of English and perhaps even Tellison Minus The Bear.
"A New Venture from Mordecai & Sons' makes this even more clearly connect to the fore. Here Dartz sound like classic pop à la Math Other Men and Cats and Cats and Cats.
But from the middle to start the song and the new rhythm of Dartz style skillfully re-pop connected with Math. And again a great melody and the singer raises the quality of the band considerably.
With "The Clandestine Choir" we hear a typical "post-punk Math" song that would have fit well on "This Is My Ship." Post-punk mixed with indie, math rock and melancholy, creating a very accurate, albeit a complicated picture in the mind's eye. The focus here, as throughout the album, on the Math-typical guitar solos that gave the genre its name in the 80s (note the name describes the complicated math-rock rhythms and solos of the music style).
At the beginning of "What Happens to Places Where Spaces should be" you realize that Dartz have experimented with the sound. Genial, matching the title of the song, the guitar melody at the beginning of water splashing and hidden spacey electronic sounds - and then the min 2:11. already over and we listen to "The Lay of the Land" again a rock, aggressive song. The melody in the verse is repeatedly interrupted and stop the rocky guitar riffs. Then everything begins again, but the band manages it well to prevent boredom by creating creative melodies.
When this was done twice, is the change of rhythm and the guitars increase, as they would climb a mountain until they stop at some point and everything starts from scratch - from songwriting produces a mirror image, yet sophisticated awesome. A kind of homage to Syssifus.
"Embers" is again a quieter piece, as shown us the album has Dartz can also play songs super quiet. Again, a great atmosphere is created, the guitar sounds now, derogatory words, such as the Greeks next door and the wind instruments take command of the instrumentals. Because singing is so far out of place, and the song is not missing. Because the song is good, as it is, and is also still the last piece "The End, Moving On."
for this song, there is not much to say. A typical, Dartz melancholic song in the vein of This Town Needs Guns, only poppier, catchier. Easy to process, again with a world class worthy chorus and Gitarrenhsoli for the advanced classes. Re also an echo of the Tellison influence.
And the song sounds really like the end, you need to add Dartz probably hardly be added. A successful conclusion.
9 / 10 points.
