SONAR & DAVID TORN: VORTEX

Sonar is a pioneering band from Switzerland, founded in 2012. Their name represents a certain architectural genre that solidifies the music, which means that they intend to create diversified and highly structured avant-garde rock. In terms of style, they are minimalist. They have two three-stringed guitars to do this. It is similar to KC, and often plays highly repeated multi-level music, reminiscent of a tape delay recording system like Robert Fripp. This year's Vortex (with David Torn) is their fourth album. Please come to a jazz expert David Torn to help them. David Torn was selected as the best experimental guitarist, but he is good at electronic music and similar. The electronic programming of the device, which helped the band achieve many sound effects and level changes. In terms of new specialization, this kind of minimalism similar to the late KC brought an embarrassing psychedelic state, but because it is not too heavy, I think it can be called a psychedelic and jazz KC, full of mysteries and Hypnosis. It's like a musical sculpture, full of compact composition and addictive. Of course this can also be called Math Rock. All songs are full of rhythm, but using wacky rhythms, based on repetition and dynamic variables, the time accuracy is accurate, so it can be called mathematical rock as if it were constructed. A seemingly irregular but full of regular blockhouses, a seemingly asymmetrical and actually exact copy of the piece, a visual aesthetic works with a simple but deep complex and complex structure, 3/4, 4/4, and 5/4 shots Build and parallel in turn. In order to create such an ultra-rational effect, David Torn's assistance is crucial. An electronic crimson king hides madness and irrationality in strict discipline. The first half of the album still maintains a brighter hue. It is not enough to get dark and mad at the back. The bass rhythm in the tail song Lookface! is crazy, but it has to be admired. A surprising rock math masterpiece , a model of music architecture. Conservative to a four-star, but may be able to reach four and a half stars! Strongly recommended.
