There's a moment, about two thirds of the way through Bending Hectic, a new(ish) offering from Radiohead-diversion The Smile, where an instrumental break sounds like it ought to be soundtracking 2001: A Space Odyssey. The moment where Dave takes the Discovery's pod through the monolith in Jovian orbit, perhaps.
However, literally no-one wants to hear me bang on about 2001 for the eight hundredth time, not even me, so let's keep it simple and just say here's a new song from The Smile. I especially like the tuning of a guitar as a motif, and the lyrics are right up my current strasse.
Blimey, this is absolutely terrific. I'm not overly familiar with last year's album, though I've heard bits and pieces around the blogs, but I think I need to go back and (as John Medd would say) give it a proper coat of listening to if it's anywhere near as good as this. You're dead right about the guitar-tuning motif too - it's so engaging.
ReplyDeleteGood, isn't it? As is that album youve mentioned. An indecently talented bunch.
