Firstly, let me just say amongst the list of words you should never use are Darkwave and Graver. Unless you are Das Ich, Project Pitchfork or an actual Darkwave band, using Darkwave ‘cos you think it’s cool as it has the words Dark and Wave in it just make you look ignorant and needy. Graver, on the other hand, is one of the most embarrassing terms ever conceived.
Both words were used in Fire For Effect’s press release…shudder.
So it’s a good job the music speaks for itself. Solo project of Albert J, who played keyboards for SSION and Josephine Collective, and DJed alongside the likes of FischerSpooner and CSS, Fire For Effect make some rockin’ noise-Pop. Heavily AutoTuned vocals blend hauntingly with bit-crunched beats and distorted synths. Each track manages to hit you with the unexpected at least once without veering off into the murky world of experimental. A spacey yet quite harsh sound makes for some intelligent dance-Pop tunes.
‘Paradise Drudge’ would have to be my favourite, I’m lovin’ the lead line:
♫ Fire For Effect – Paradise Drudge (zShare) (MediaFire)
♫ Fire For Effect – Cell (zShare) (MediaFire)
♫ Fire For Effect – The Beach (zShare) (MediaFire)
Fire For Effect’s album should be dropping some time in January, ‘til then I believe some MySpace love is in order!
