The Death Notes - The Black EP (2018) EN


The Death Notes, a band often compared to legends such as Joy Division, The Pixies or Sonic Youth, have already earned some fame after releasing an EP "White" two years ago. This time they are back in a colour-changing way with a new album "Black".

Just like the cover art's colour, somewhat darker is also the Nottingham based band's music. After adding the bassist Mike Sinclair to the line-up, it got more dense but is still really melodic. You can just listen to "Gift of Fear" in which the post-punk's minimalist music accompanies Mark Saxton's vocal that brings some hit song's potential to it. Not until the track's finish, the guitars finally try to take over the foreground and the whole thing heads towards post-rock music.

The band is capable of navigating through more aggressive, punk-rock waters ("Evolver") or clearly instrumental music ("Theme"), but reach their best when they let the vocal make its magic on the post-punk guitar background.

"The Black" 5 GBP.
