THE REVIEW
In 2004, the Sikth, a London-based band, debuted with the album "The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait Something," an album that unfortunately is not easy to find in record stores (at least here in Italy)... so I recommend to anyone interested to download it from the internet.
Now let's talk about the record, powerful... that combines hardcore with the most modern alternative with a touch of noise in a very original way, alternating schizophrenic vocals and heavy guitars... with melodic vocals and harmonious yet always noisy guitars... as happens in track number 3, "Hold My Finger." The songs they offer are very varied... indeed, they range from songs with sure impact to quirky piano-played songs as in "Emerson" pt. 1 and pt. 2. In my opinion, the best songs are "Pussyfoot," "Hold My Finger," "Such The Fool"... also appreciable are "Skies of Millennium Night," "Peep Show," and "Wait for Something Wild."
Ultimately, a great debut for the six Londoners, who define their style right from the start...
