Rating: NOOOOOOOO, another review about Radiohead?
Well, not exactly... let's say a review about their disciples.
Denmark, everything starts from Ok Computer, a band is born, three albums are created, Zitilites is born.
This is the fourth work by Kashmir, rich, full-bodied, and by now, not even too much a copycat. The influence of Radiohead is felt, of course, but by now one can grasp their independent creative vein. Effects intertwine with guitars, the organ supports the rhythm section, the circle closes. The songs are smooth, they catch your ear even on a first distracted listen, the melodies stand out for their simplicity and effectiveness, without having to wait too long you are captivated by the album.
14 tracks all linking together, a homogeneous yet heterogeneous album. A warm voice describes landscapes, views, emotions.
Warmth, that's what envelops you when listening, and it's quite strange in the middle of winter, add that these guys certainly don't come from a country with a tropical climate and you'll have a quite clarifying picture: this album is special.
Amnesiac and Ok Computer are always there, lurking among the notes, resurfacing, but they don't bother, they don't become overwhelming, they don't preclude the originality of Zitilites.
To Radiohead fans, this album is highly recommended, but I believe it could appeal to almost all true music listeners, I believe it's one of the few good products released recently.
Tracklist Lyrics and Samples
05 Melpomene (04:39)
Something tells me that I'm left without a chance
in my suspicious attempts to get her close
enough to close my lips around her smile
now I can't close my eyes when she's around
and she's around
passing like the wind that shapes the clouds
she is around, she is around
i don't know how but suddenly it has been a while
and we're been walking in through that same front door
undressing like there were no parts to hide
and calling each other names we never had
you never heard
and then an unexpected turn
and we hit the kerb
a stupid term, a fatal word
Flutter girl
killing me with her sunshine
sunshine
she's so unaware
that she's my melpomene
you broke the code
just like i'm sure you always do
without intentions but I know
that's how I broke away from you
now that the clouds are obsolete
I hope you landed on your feet
without those evil demons
keeping you reminding of...
the war they pulled us through
as fragile hearts ran short of glue
as we're both running out of time
and seek to drown the fact in wine
it should be honest and naive
like we should give, we should receive
I must be jaded
fading out of fuction into solitude
Flutter girl
killing me with her sunshine
sunshine
she's so unaware
that she's my melpomene
Flutter girl
killing me with her sunshine
sunshine
she's so unaware
that she's my melpomene
10 Big Fresh (05:11)
I pick you up on monday morning
in the street
and all you have to do is fall
into the seat
now the time has come for us
time for us to go
turn ourselves over to the unseen
the map will snore
in it's glove compartment
as we pass
and we don't stop until the last ends
except for gas
now the time has come for us
time for us to go
turn ourselves over to the unseen
big fresh
big fresh
where's your lively
big fresh
big fresh
where's your smiley

The album opens with "Big Fresh," a potential single that gets stuck in your head and never leaves.
A Radiohead surrogate, then? Not at all, ignore the critics and make this masterpiece your own.
