Artist: [P.U.T]
Album: Follow My Wave
Year: 2007
Well, what do we got here? Another new band from France.
Well, ‘new’ band...? New to me, and probably new to most
of you readers out there, but a quick look into their
history and discography learns us that this band isn’t
new at all. Their MySpace shows us that this currently
newest release is already their 9th, and according to
their biography they’re already existing since late
1998! Among their influences we find Killing Joke,
Godflesh and Will Haven but also the Red Hot Chili
Peppers. Mix this together with their self-called
description for their music (‘emotional noise for happy
days’) and you know that something interesting awaits.
‘Follow My Wave’ is the title track and the opening
track of this EP. It contains elements of ambient and
electro rock, all brought together with a Rage Against
The Machine attitude and a lot of chaos in the chorus.
‘Shade’ comes up next. It’s an instrumental track with a
bouncing beat, wicked guitarwork, a protounding bassline
and some slightly added electronic sampling. ‘Low
Direction’ contains of ambient music and
preachy/spoken-word vocal lines. It’s not a track of my
kind, with it’s nearly 11 minute duration. ‘Own
Destruction’ has a heavy bassline, dark electronic
sampling, sick programming and distorted vocals.
‘DamDam’ is totally different again. It’s like a
crust/punk track, with a little cyber sampling and a
catchy chorus.
There’s also a so-called 6th track on this album, which
is a nice (live) bonus video for the ‘Follow My Wave’
track. The EP turns out to be quite a weird duck in the
end, with all kinds of different music included in the
package. Not something you hear every day, but indeed
cool stuff.
