DUTCH CRYSTAL GRENADE REVIEW

This is translated through Google Translate so a bit odd in translation:



Frankly I had never heard of Crystal Grenade . Behind the conceived in a drunken stupor deformed character with a Victorian morality , which fits into the freaky folk scene of the experimental angle , the British singer Carol Hodge shelter . I was not familiar with the punk and metal bands , which Carol has made part ( Cumbria and Sadie Hawkins Dance) . As if a door opens to a different and new musical experience is set to " Lo ! And Behold " her eccentric mezzo soprano and piano key. Self she wrote about it: " Its like Amanda Palmer , fighting Tori Amos and Shake Sphere 's Sister in a dimly lit Victorian bar with hand deformities . On with producer Nick Zart ( The Modern , Backdraft ) included " Lo ! And Behold " Crystal Grenade sings confidently with raw emotion the throat of her body . Opinionatedness and deep thoughts alternate loosely.

A world of difference between this plate, the compositions lead to gloomy moods and her other project Raggende and dynamic music of the formation Wrecks . It feels like a tension that after every song ever tighter and tighter cited . " Lo ! And Behold " is a record that can be . Not just punctured It is the quality of the songs and her fabulous voice , which ensures continued my listening habits. Hopefully this plate of Carol Hodge and Crystal Grenade not turn off exercise .

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
