Makthaverskan - Glass and Bones
published:
My favourite Scandinavian post-punk band. Thought they were long broken up though, for some reason. Nothing really standout here, but a pretty good time and always fun to have a band to recommend that you can more or less guarantee nobody you know in real life has ever heard of. Makes you sound real cool.
Three Stars.

It's weird that this band blew up, but honestly it's probably the highly meme-able costumes. Initially I pooh-poohed them over someone being blown away by the looper trickery of a live performance. But when you sit down and listen to the actual music, it actually is a pretty cool thing, weird microtonal riffs that combine more eastern-style scales with western jazz and rock style rhythmic patterns. Which makes me sound kind of snobby, and I am probably a bit out over my skis here, but still. Good listening.
Four Stars.
