I find it quite difficult to describe this band. They've got some pretty obvious LAUTREC sounds but putting it into words is not the easiest. Let's give it a try:
- guitars are distorted but never crazy, and tend to have a light layer of space dust on them
- drums are unreal, as this is pre-Lord Snow for Erik
- very playful bass that does an excellent job of bounding around the perimeter of each song doing its own, dancey thing
- a single vocalist straddling somewhere between a scream and a yell
- the amalgamation of these things creates a balanced and very unique sound that comes across as sunshine jazz screamo, a genre I just created, as it is never dark or depressing sounding and is much jazzier than your typical screamy hardcore
Could I say more? Probably. I remember commenting that I liked Lord Snow more than LAUTREC and that somehow got blown out of proportion to the extent of something like, "Dave doesn't like LAUTREC", which is definitely not an accurate statement. LAUTREC differs from Lord Snow on almost every level but they are both excellent bands, Lord Snow just does more for me cuz it's fucking batshit crazy.
Do yourself a favor and head over to the LAUTREC bandcamp linked here where you can download the entire discography for free. The 7 releases below are misleading, as only '8 Songs', the 'Lautrec' 7" and 'discography new ones' house all of the tracks recorded by the band. So, in essence, you only need to download those three in order to possess the entire discography.
*post-post note: I just had Wolverines come on my playlist and the instrumentals are very, very similar, so definitely check out that rad band, too!
