THIS HEAT This Heat
Rating: 9.5/10
It's no secret that THIS HEAT is a band ahead of their time, pushing boundaries and redefining what it means to be experimental. Their self-titled album, "This Heat," is no exception. From the hypnotic rhythms to the chaotic cacophony of sounds, this album is a journey through the depths of avant-garde music.
The opening track, "Testcard," sets the tone for the album with its eerie atmospherics and dissonant melodies. The unsettling vocals of Charles Hayward and Charles Bullen only add to the overall sense of unease, drawing the listener into a world that is both familiar and alien.
Tracks like "Horizontal Hold" and "Not Waving" showcase the band's ability to meld elements of punk, post-punk, and experimental music into something truly unique. The relentless energy and raw emotion in these tracks are a testament to THIS HEAT's singular vision and boundless creativity.
Overall, "This Heat" is a masterpiece of a album that defies genre classification and challenges the listener to open their mind to new possibilities. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary, look no further than THIS HEAT. This album will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music.
