As long as music is, as long as there will be bands, which elicit from their instruments rather the dark, low notes than playing merry tunes. If it is a matter of the heart, that's a good thing .... and if there are some dark songs, which still have a fine tune, then it is perhaps the debut of O. Children !
now - two years later - is against the self-titled debut album. With their music the four musicians from the island to speak at any event listeners, to Joy Divsion, Editors, She Wants Revenge or Interpol are. The band considers itself particularly influenced by the band Bauhaus.
trademark of the songs from O. Children is certainly the deep, dark voice. Overall gather on the debut album ten o'clock on average post-punk pop songs. Yes that's right: Pop songs because O. Children are always anxious their darkness into a fine melody and harmonic structure packaged.
shows total, arranged the songs varied. For example, Heels comes with a recurring shimmering keyboard sequence, therefore, during one of my favorites - Radio Waves - (who does not think here of Joy Division and transmission) with a beveled insert saxophone shines.
is Outwardly there are strong parallels to the compatriots of Bloc Party, but both bands have a colored singer, this is certainly rare in this genre. Even if the self-titled debut album of O. Children far does not reach the class of the debut album Silent Alarm by Bloc Party, it is here but at a higher than average, really recommendable album.
you order - if not noh happen - a little to whet your appetite, here are the videos for Dead Disco Dancer and Ruins, both songs on the debut of this very promising newcomer in the field of post-punk:
