Two days ago an evelope arrived at home. Content: The new album "this is the warning" by Dead Letter Circus. Almost nobody knows those aussies here in Europe or in the US but that has to change! Damn, that record will not leave the CD player any time soon.
The crazy thing is that the band isn't around for a long time. They started playing gigs in Australia in 2007 and gained huge success right away. Airplay, sold out shows and a massive fanbase. Well deserved, cause their debut self titeled EP and the follow up EP called "next in line" already sounded like a band that exactly knows what it is doing. DLC has been unique from the start.
Here is a great making of video of the recording for "this is the warning"
The music has a progressive feeling. At the same time fans of bands like Tool, a perfect circle or Karnivool will feel comfortable with this music. But DLC is way heavier than most of those bands. On the other hand DLC uses synthesizers quite often. But that does't stand in the way of the great rock attitude of DLC's sound. Cause the amout of synths is just right. Either it is a great foundation for the songs, or it adds massive grooves. Even if it sounds like Pop music sometimes it still is very straight forward. Add a lot of depth and feeling to that and you get the sound of DLC.
I bought a ton of very impressive albums this year, but this one really stands out. A huge cntestent becoming the album of the year!
