| When you first hear Death From Above 1979’s first album, You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine, it opens with what sounds like a savage assault of guitars, bass and drums coming at you full-throttle from a bunch of dude’s set on destruction. This is not a bad thing by the way IF you can pull it off. When you reach for the liner notes to see where the hell these guys came from and why they were so dead set on making so much noise, all that the info in the liner notes says is that it’s two guys from Canada playing bass and drums. They use effects to get their bass to sound like a heavy guitar and a synth is sprinkled in here and there for good measure. That’s it. More than just another two-piece combo, Sebastien Grainger, vocals/drums and Jesse F. Keeler, bass/synth not only rock like a full-on band but write catchy riffs that you can dance to. Songs like “Blood on Our Hands” and Black History Month” are danceable and fun while still hitting hard. Because of the limitations of being a two-piece band, most of the album sounds like one long song. The album has eleven tracks and runs at just over thirty-five minutes. It could have been longer, yet before you have anything to complain about, it’s over. With shredding riffs riding the groove into the ground, this is an album you could easily dance to just as much as you can skateboard or beat the living shit out of someone to. In other words, you’ll either love it or hate. It’s an assault of hard driving electronic influenced drum and bass beats that have great melody and just hit hard. If that’s your thing, then pick this one up and get ready for the sonic beat down of your life! |
