LIST PICK

LES BIG BYRD GERäUSCHE

The influence of krautrockers like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream can be heard throughout Les Big Bird’s newest, electric-tinged release ‘Geräusche’. The reverb heavy piano melody lines combine with the sweeping synths, prominent bass and quick, yet quiet guitar arpeggios to create a cosmic atmosphere that allows the expertly produced vocals to shine through and take centre stage. The quirky, Stockholm-based band have gathered traction with previous releases such as They Worshipped Cats. Their upcoming album (slated for release on the 12th of October), Iran, Iraq, IKEA is sure to have the same impact on their loyal fanbase. -Dan Peeke
