Our Take
Our Take
Ah, VARKENSHOND, the enigmatic Belgian noise rock outfit that never fails to surprise and bewilder with each release. Their latest album, "Haragawaan Por Shailin British English," is a cacophony of sonic experimentation that defies traditional genre boundaries and plunges the listener into a dark, disorienting sonic landscape.
From the opening track "Screaming Pigs in Space" to the hauntingly beautiful "Transcendental Oink," VARKENSHOND showcases their mastery of the avant-garde with a fearless approach to songwriting. The band's use of unconventional instrumentation, including a squealing pig and a kazoo played backwards, adds a layer of unpredictability to the album that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat.
The vocals on "Haragawaan Por Shailin British English" are equally unconventional, with frontman Oink McSnorter delivering his surreal, stream-of-consciousness lyrics with a manic energy that is both captivating and unsettling. The band's use of dissonance and discordant rhythms further adds to the album's sense of unease, creating a truly jarring listening experience.
Overall, "Haragawaan Por Shailin British English" is a challenging, yet rewarding listen for those willing to venture outside their comfort zone and embrace the weird and wonderful world of VARKENSHOND. This album is not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare to delve deep into the abyss of experimental music, it is a journey well worth taking.
