I Would Set Myself On Fire For You
Believes In Patterns

THE REVIEW

Love, Loss & Rock & Roll

We are quite far from the incendiary attitude of bands like Pg.99 and Orchid, but also far from the hysterical expansion of abrasive sounds of the more radical Emo current of bands like City Of Caterpillar. "Believes In Patterns" is a separate album.

"Believes In Patterns" expands, continues, and completes the conversation started in the previous self-titled album where, aided by poor production, the varied and personal style present here was little more than sketched out.

Then in 2007, the group disappeared into thin air for unknown reasons. They simply said what they wanted to say, and with serenity, went back to where they came from. Hypothetical.

In I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, there is a marked eclecticism compared to other acts with similar sounds; there is a certain desire to go beyond, to see what other elements can be added to their style. Yes, in short, how many bands with a Post-Hardcore/Emo/Screamo background do you know that use a viola? Or at least that did so around 2006?

But that's not all: piano, Jazz interludes, a lot of Folk. Three voices intertwine, sometimes nervous and urgent, sometimes not. All in a record that theoretically belongs to the same current as Raein, Saetia, La Quiete, and so on. Theoretically. Because the starting point is that, but then it ends up going very far. Stuff that if it had to be cataloged in a specific genre, it would need a name two lines long.

Just mention "Three", the summary of the entire sound of the album, and "Country Song": voice, strings, a simple but very beautiful arrangement.

Perhaps this attempt to amaze with variety suffers a bit; the fit of the various pieces of the puzzle is not quite perfect. This album is not an "As The Roots Undo" or a "The Underdark", but it still earns respect.
