Album - Eureka Sön
The bad thing about music today is that any schmuck with a sound card and a few software synths can record an album. The great thing about music today is that any schmuck with a sound card and a few software synths can record an album. Eureka Sön is more a compilation of the band’s best work to date than an album, but as a scattered collection of cheaply produced indie rock tracks you could hardly ask for better - or more varied. Album opener “Antes” is the atonal Spanish Pet Sounds track never recorded. “Centro” builds to a synth-buried Kenna chorus. “Reversible” belongs on a poor man’s Kid A. “Ti” is ripped from Now Here Is Nowhere. And don’t forget the aptly titled “Holey Foley” and the glitch-techno cacophony of “Ruido”. A dozen styles pepper Eureka Sön and most are pulled off confidently. They do occasionally fail, however: “Crei” and “Yoo” are bland 90s alt-rock ripoffs without the crisp production.
