SOLITAR Bus Driver Immigrant Mechanic

Popis:

"Solitär has a unique take on mellow indie rock. "" Bus Driver Immigrant Mechanic"" is often laid back and fragile, but there's a bass driven heaviness cooking underneath with a clear impact of psych and shoegaze. The music travels freely through the centuries, hinting at soundscapes from the late sixties up until today without losing its focus - there is a story to be told. The lyrics deal with death, time travel, family and old ghosts, but also touch upon issues like class and the struggle of belonging in the world. Solitär from Stockholm, Sweden is the solo project by Mikael Tuominen, a multi-instrumentalist known from bands like Kungens Män and Automatism. He has been working within a large spectrum of music over the years, ranging from doom metal to avant garde free improvisation to music for film to indie rock. The first single from the album is called Electric Sea, one of the most psychedelic tracks on the album, echoing from The Beatles to Slowdive with a touch of Morricone. The second single and the song that lent some of its chorus to the title of the album, Bus Driver, takes the sound in a synthier direction while painting a picture of someone who tries to find a way to live in a new country. Bus Driver Immigrant Mechanic also includes a cover of the song The Price by Twisted Sister. It might look like an odd choice,but melody lent itself perfectly to a Stina Nordenstam inspired sound that is way more low key than the original. Sort of what happens when you take the power out of a power ballad. "
