Our Take

HENRY COW has always been the band that effortlessly straddles the line between avant-garde experimentalism and pure musical genius, and their latest live album, "Stockholm & Goteborg," is no exception. With intricate compositions that twist and turn in unexpected ways, this record is a wild ride from start to finish.

The album kicks off with the intense energy of "Goteborg," a track that immediately grabs your attention and never lets go. The fusion of jazz, rock, and classical influences creates a sound that is both familiar and wholly unique. Each member of the band shines on their respective instruments, showcasing their technical prowess and creativity.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Stockholm" showcase the band's ability to create complex, multi-layered soundscapes that defy categorization. The intricate interplay between the various instruments is truly a sight (or rather, sound) to behold.

But what truly sets HENRY COW apart is their willingness to push the boundaries of what is considered "music." Tracks like "Gothenburg" challenge traditional notions of melody and rhythm, leaving the listener both bewildered and enthralled.

In conclusion, "Stockholm & Goteborg" is a mesmerizing journey through the minds of one of the most innovative bands in the industry. HENRY COW proves once again why they are legends in the world of avant-garde music, and this album is a testament to their continued creativity and talent. Get ready to have your musical expectations shattered - in the best way possible.

About the artist

Henry Cow

Henry Cow is not your typical music artist. With an eclectic blend of avant-garde jazz, experimental rock, and socialist politics, this British band has been pushing boundaries since the 1970s. Founded by Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson, Henry Cow quickly gained a reputation for their challenging compositions and unpredictable live performances. Their debut album, "Legend," was described by NME as "uncompromisingly complex." The band's refusal to adhere to traditional song structures and their use of dissonant harmonies set them apart from their contemporaries. Despite their critical acclaim, Henry Cow struggled to find mainstream success, perhaps due to their unconventional approach to music-making. Throughout their career, Henry Cow collaborated with a wide range of musicians, including Robert Wyatt, Dagmar Krause, and Lindsay Cooper. Their landmark album, "In Praise of Learning," is considered a classic of the progressive rock genre and features sprawling compositions that explore themes of politics and philosophy. Henry Cow's influence can be heard in the work of numerous contemporary artists, from modern prog-rock bands to experimental jazz ensembles. While the band disbanded in the late 1970s, their legacy lives on through their groundbreaking music and fearless creativity. So, if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary, Henry Cow is the band for you. Just be prepared to have your musical boundaries challenged and your listening experience transformed. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
