The Nordiques service, Angora Static, Kaospilot buddies after a first single drops of ink on their first album three labels simultaneously. In these days and this shortness screamo-hardcore, it was feared for the Norwegians. But very clever, they avoid falling into the trap and targets a much wider audience. On an underlayer hardcore history, Angora Static is liberating inspiration for grafting bits of passion deep in the body, complexity smoking, guitar riffs and structures that go far beyond the punk who sleeps in them by their approach very do-it-yourself. The eight songs are dense and rich, the fineness between the lines, beautiful glow melodic, airy and aggressive when needed. Not really, Angora Static worked with skill and released an album every bit as remarkable. Those who mourn Yage, Yaphet Kotto and Harriet the Spy, while hoping for something that goes beyond would do well to note the name in a corner of their ugly noggin.

Angora Static - 2004 7" Ep

Band : Angora Static

Album : 7" Ep
Release Year : 2004
Genre : Hardcore / Screamo

Tracklist : 

01- Every man is his own microprocessor

02 - Mediterranean holidays to remember

03 - Kalashnikov retro

04 - Bretton Woods abducted my mother

Whatever, this 7" is definitely any good. 4 songs of rather wrought and distraught screamy emo. The recording is pretty scruffy and they rely on dark grooves and surges to create a really cool sound that echo's stuff like I, Robot or the Vida Blue. The vocals are mostly verge of tears screams, and they work really well. The second track has a more jazzy structure to it, hopping about from foot to foot in a hyperactive manner, I like when it explodes into a melody that battles against the messy recording and just about manages to fight it's way through, then it drops down totally and well, it's all over the shop! On side B the band has more of those hidden melodic guitars, amidst the chaos they bury a herky-jerky midwest guitar sound similar to stuff like Managra. It works really well, especially when you listen on headphones and can start to pick out what's going on. Yes. I like this a lot.
