Remember those weird, ethereal and tribal instrumental songs
on
some of your favorite classic rock albums? The ones that ended off an
album or side 1? The interesting ones that didn't fit in on there at
all? Well, what if a band sustained that for a whole album?
Toning down the bleak, dark and claustrophobic atmosphere of their previous two releases, High Watt Electrocutions return with "The Bermuda Triangle", a 39 minute instrumental track/ album that turns down the fuzz guitars and menacing presence, while opting for an admittedly more optimistic and serene vibe. But it's not without eventual chaotic waters--this is, after all, the audio equivalent to the fabled area of the same name, where planes, ships and people vanish without a trace in clouds, water and a haze of confusion.
Built largely on layers of ringing guitars, acoustic guitars, pianos, synths and shimmering effects, the album doesn't so much hit you over the head with volume as it does density.....a wall of chiming, swooping atmospherics and percussion on a largely drum-less album that clicks instead of pounds away. Song movements fade in and out of each other with ease; the absence of vocals and lyrics challenge the listener to determine what they're hearing in the music, and challenges them as to where proposed song movements start and end (note: track sample clips are divided here at this website to illustrate how the album flows).
The album is a nicely done individually numbered 500 copy limited edition cd-r release with custom improvised painted front artwork, making each cover different and unique. Below are samples of the variation and possible colors:
