postures

This release from Swedish band POSTURES' is both ambitious and mature in its presentation. It is multi-faceted, cross-genre and with a lot of love to the detail. Only insiders have heard about POSTURES because it is their debut album; 9 songs, from unexpected 2 minute interludes, floating ballads, 'big riff rock' numbers and a 13 minute instrumental space trip melt together to an intense sound spectacle. Very well produced, the album conceptually is clearly a tribute to the early 1970s, with the spirit of Pink Floyd, Yes, Can, Doors and Jefferson Airplane. Fans of Portishead and The Gathering who love the dynamic sonority of the 1970s, should listen very carefully to this one!
