Bloodgroup – Sticky Situation Review
Bloodgroup, don’t let the name fool you there is nothing even slightly dark about their music. The beats and synth sound all too familiar and left me feeling disappointed as the Icelandic music scene usually offers a refreshing sound. The music is lacking bass, attempts to mix way to many elements, and has very awkward sounding vocals.
While I was listening to the EP, it felt like someone took The Knife’s Silent Shout album and continually pressed that annoying fog horn sound that is all to common in gino beats, only with less subtly and rhythm if that’s possible. The copy I received had only three one of which I didn’t mind. Red Egypt the second on the EP didn’t over do the effects and had simple drum, bass, and strings with flowing vocals to produce a decent song. With this being said the other two songs Moving Like a Tiger and Chuck were beyond annoying, as rather than focusing on a steady drum and bass line they added in constantly changing loud noises that continually went off throughout the song. Overall I really didn’t enjoy it and would not listen to it again.
1/5
