The Dutch artist, singer-songwriter, composer, and inventor traverses through multiple genres and eras. If you don’t know who Jacco Gardner is, he’s just simply one of the most creative musical forces around. RIYL: Khruangbin, Thom Yorke, Kevin Parker Jacco Gardner – “Levania” (Hoorn, Netherlands) Those of us left behind are “grasping at the Balm of Gilead”, which is a terrific piece of literary imagery.
Instead, we are surrounded by just a cacophony of noise and the madness of a tyrannical few.
What strikes hardest, though, are what the band has to say, as they cleverly use the Biblical region to describe the state of the world today and how the truth escapes us all. Instead of ducking away or getting into a defensive pose, you take in each blow and absorb the Danish band’s power and quiet ferocity. From the grimy guitars to the harsh rhythm to Rønnenfelt’s assertive vocals, the song hits you like a Floyd Merriweather combination. They deliver both once again on “Balm of Gilead”, which is a surprise little single in advance of their North American tour. What makes them la crème de la crème is that they combine edgy, intense music with imaginative yet poignant songwriting. There are punk records, and then there are Iceage punk records. Icege – released their awesome, politically-charged new album, Beyondless. Iceage – “Balm of Gilead” (Copenhagen, Denmark)īack in May, Elias Bender Rønnenfelt (vocals/lyrics), Jakob Tvilling Pless (bass), Dan Kjær Nielsen (drums), and Johan Wieth (guitar) – a.k.a. If you haven’t already visited Part 1, spin those seven songs after listening to these ones. Then there are a few tunes that belong on a film soundtrack plus another that features one of the best voices in the business. There are cosmic tunes, a wall-shaker, and a song that is perfect for a wedding. On the other half of our doubleheader, The Matinee ’18 November 13th – Part 2 traverses many dimensions.
