Woodsman - Rare Forms (Review)

Woodsman are pretty confusing. Right from the opener to, electronic noises, samples, and of course the plays is actually mixed, where it was possible and the decision for "Insects" as the first song of this record is confusing in itself.

The song is acting in his psychedelic rock in the sight of Amon Düül II, yet monotonous rattling, and the vocals as disembodied as the latest Dream-pop albums. Can be called in the broadest sense again Shoegaze and indeed would have to expect an album now in the direction of "Primary Colors" by the Horrors can. And then everything is different.

The band changed their Sound not great, but the mood. It is already "Dead Awake" with his saxophone more shaped by Hintergrundgeraeuschen than actually existent melodies or harmonies and just when you think it could be a song out, it goes back slowly and back in the opposite development to its original state. What is perhaps so in the description sounds like a psychedelic blend of ambient and post-rock, is in fact soon forgotten and does not produce any voltage. And unfortunately it's now quite Keep it up. sung -

For all of these background music stand but then every now and then out the songs, which actually - albeit incomprehensible. "I Can not Move" is the best example. The song that most of all, it can be called laid back and at the same time introducing congas in the mix is quite interesting, even though he does not want to really go up in himself. The same thing could still be "Beat The Heat" say that the quality would have to induce the trance, located in the musicians, and then stopped after 4 minutes. But better to do it as if the same game - Consult about 6 minutes - as in "Inside / Outside".

"Rare Forms" is an album so full of background music and subtle music and that is precisely what contradicts himself: I do not hear the background, finally, if I only superficially hear. Thus, the songs often seem half-finished and yelled in a suite as a transition to a more powerful each song perhaps because of it worked out fine. Unfortunately, there is the 'here and not waiting for a short position in the opener in vain that an inflamed the songs.
