One day I'll inevitably lose my mind. And I don't mean wig out slightly, buy a
sports car, and head to Cabo with a woman half my age mid life crisis
style. I mean full blown, bat shit,
chasing squirrels in my underwear screaming apocalyptic prophecies crazy. And when it happens...... This is what I envision it will sound
like. Not that there is anything
inherently chaotic or madness inducing here.
Quite the opposite. Domkraft's
"The End of Electricity" is a well crafted emotional roller
coaster. While it's the subtle tempo
changes that ebb and flow back and forth like crushing waves of doom that
tickle my deep seeded chemical imbalances, it's the reverb soaked bellows of
bassist/vocalist Martin Wegeland which echo like they are being delivered from
atop a desolate mountain, that offer up premonitions of my impending imaginary
voices. The whole album flows so well
it could have very easily been one epically long song. Even the much more even tempered
"Drones" fits perfectly. As
"The Rift" and "Meltdown of the Orb" build more and more
tension "Drones" drops back a notch, gives you a chance to
regroup. As if to offer a slight
glimpse of hope to my quickly dissolving faculties, before diving head first
back into fuzzy dissolution, and finishing up the album where it all started
with plenty more of the hypnotic sounds that sent you tumbling down this rabbit
hole in the first place.
