Hobby Horse - "Dry Flower"

Not bad, but doesn't fit my taste (6/10) Ep comprenant 6 titres, enregistrer en novembre 2006 par Pierre David. Nade : Guitare et Chant Sylvain : Guitare et Chant Rémi : Betterie et Choeurs Vianney : Basse et Choeurs The musicians are skilled, but I do not like the vocalist's singing manner. There is no passion in her voice, she sings as if somebody pointed gun at her head and made her do it. There are no catchy melodies and the noise is not powerful but dull and boring. I love noisy music but it has to appeal to me because of its qualities. When there are no melodies, we should be able to feel the "power of noise" - the overwhelming desire to smash a chair on a wall and break windows with your head (a great example would be the band "Therapy?"). During this recording I had only an overwhelming desire to go to sleep. There is one exception - the first track "Alex". This one is really fine. But not because of the singing manner, but because of the great riffs. Their sound is heavily influenced by Sonic Youth, what can be seen as another drawback or a recommendation depending on whether you are a fan of Sonic Youth or rather originality.
