Music reviews of 120 Days
Music Review: Outstanding debut album from the Norway trio
Rating: 4 Stars
120 Days is a trio from Norway that has been preparing for this debut for a number of years, releasing a couple of EPs. If you're not familiar with their sound, their music is a mix of dark but nevertheless upbeat synthesizers powered by guitars, building a wall of sound. Their sound reminds me of The Faint-meets-New Order-meets-VHS or Beta, with a slice of Kraftwerk for good measure.
"120 Days" (9 tracks, 53 min.) is built around 3 key, momentous tracks: the opener "Come Out, Come Down, Fade Out, Be Gone" (which is getting some air play--see below), "C-Music" and the closer, an epic 12 min. "I've Lost My Vision", all of which thematically are the same: a long instrumental build-up, great middle vocal section, and another long outro. All of the 9 tracks play as one long song, with a couple of short instrumentals. This is a mood album, pure and simple, but oh so satisfying. The liner notes suggest these songs represent "the dedolation of cold, dark, long Oslo nights", and in a sense they might, but I would venture to say they are much more than that. Just great synth-based, up-tempo (even danceable) songs for most of the way.
If you wonder how I became familiar with 120 days, I discovered them listening to WOXY.com (The Future of Rock and Roll), the great internet-only station that truly brings the most cutting-edge indie music, as they have done for more than 20 years, and which has "Come Out, Come Down" on its current playlist. "120 Days" is a great album, and I can't wait to see how these songs will translate in a live setting (the band is touring the US in support of this October, 2006 release).
