SINGLE OF THE WEEK
ARAB STRAP Socket, Take Your Turn/Blackness(Chemikal Underground)
For the uninitiated, Arab Strap are two extra-surly men from Scotland
with a lively penchant for miserablism.
The melody method of Socket...is surprisingly simple:
first write a dark and harrowing poem, take a sparse minimalist beat,
add some acoustic noodling and there you have a sonic experiment of
epic proportions. Even better is blackness
which, as its name suggests, is darker than Norway in mid-winter.
Five minutes of trudging guitar finally gives way to an intense soundscape
of brass, percussion, strings and electric guitars bringing together
the united vision of Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Mogwai.
The best non-single single of the year. 8/10
