[dK] - Love Annihilator
"Do Androids dream of Electro?" Asks Italian act, [dK] (As Decay). Self-modelled "Dark Rock" (whatever that is), a quick scour of the internet tells me that people either love this band, or... love... this band. That isn't right, surely?
This 3 track CDS (of which we have one original track, and 2 remixes) is my first introduction to this project. Featuring artwork of a plane dropping bombs (relevant, how exactly?), the track is a typical half-spoken, half sang affair, with the occasional synth, and crunching guitar riffs. Sadly, that's as good as it gets.
The remixes do nothing for me, either. Fortunately, I quite like the track. The Guitars work really well with the Synth, and although the vocals could easily be dropped and I wouldn't shed a tear, at least the vocalist CAN sing.
I can't judge this band on a single, and the single isn't exactly great, but It is enjoyable.
Also, for some reason beyond me, I absolutely dig this cover art! Apr 19 2011
