Music reviews of A Quick Fix of Melancholy
Music Review: Excellent Little EP
Rating: 4 Stars
This little 2003 EP was a lovely understated reminder that Ulver were still making interesting, original and ultimately infectious music. There is only four tracks here, all encapsulating the trademark electronic styling, Garm's powerful and atmospheric vocals and a refined ear for melody.
My favourite track here is "Eittlane" which is a re-working of "Nattleite" from their acoustic folk album "Kveldssanger". The song starts decently with a nice laid-back and moody feel, and slowly builds to the final beat drop over the washing tones, and Garm's vocals can be heard just adding to the already rich textures. "Little Blue Bird" is a demonstration of Garm's outstanding and diverse vocals. He can effortlessly switch from quiet and eerie to loud and operatic. He is a truly underrated singer, which unfortunately reflects the band's somewhat cult status. "Vowels" is another excellent song, combining some big and loud vocals with tasteful strings that never become overblown. "Doom Sticks" is my least favourite song here, not that its bad, it just doesn't live up to the other three as it becomes rather repetitive.
Overall this is a very enjoyable four track EP. Fans of Ulver should always expect the unexpected - such is the nature of this diverse band - but you would be wrong to expect a dip in quality.
