Details

THIRD ALBUM FROM THE NORTHWEST'S INTELLIGENCE; LED BY A-FRAMES / DIPERS MAINMAN LARS FINBERG, THE INTELLIGENCE ARE DEMANDING ATTENTION IN AND BEYOND THE NORTHWEST, CREATING A NEW DIRECTION IN SOUND BASED ON THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF BANDS LIKE THE FALL AND PIL, YET BENEATH THE POST-PUNK CLANG LIES A SERIOUS POP SENSIBILITY. THESE POP CHOPS HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE NOTICEABLE THAN ON DEUTERONOMY, THE BAND'S THIRD FULL-LENGTH. FINBERG SWEARS THAT THE ZOMBIES' ODYSSEY AND ORACLE AS WELL AS EARLY BEE GEES ALBUMS INFLUENCED HIS DIRECTION, THOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE HERE COME THE WARM JETS MIGHT'VE HAD A HAND IN IT AS WELL. FINBERG ALSO CHOSE, FOR THE FIRST TIME, TO FOREGO THE HOME RECORDING APPROACH HE'S USED IN THE PAST AND EMPLOYED THE USE OF MIKE MCHUGH AND HIS DISTILLERY RECORDING STUDIO TO GET THE MOST FULL-BODIED, FULLY REALIZED INTELLIGENCE RECORDING TO DATE
