'Little Arithmetics' is an achievement in developed Indie Pop, while 'Theme From Turnpike' goes in the opposite direction with some avant-garde Trip Hop. Out of those six, only 'Gimme The Heat' and 'Disappointed In The Sun' feel remotely similar. 'Fell Off The Floor, Man,' 'Theme From Turnpike,' 'Little Arithmetics,' 'Gimme The Heat,' 'Supermarketsong,' and 'Disappointed In The Sun' are all excellent songs, and best of all, they're all excellent for totally different reasons. There's six songs I genuinely love on here, which as frequent readers of mine know, is a rare achievement. Thankfully, the pros far outweigh the cons. Think a typical Ween album - which In A Bar, Under The Sea feels awfully comparable to, especially the as-of-yet uncreated Quebec - and sprinkle some Wilco depth and substance to the field for good measure (Tom Barman is essentially proto Jeff Tweedy on 'Wake Me Up Before I Sleep'). 'Serpentine,' 'A Shocking Lack Thereof,' and 'Nine Threads' are my three weak points, but the beauty of the album lies in its versatility to appease any type of Rock fan. Of course, given the swath of ideas presented throughout these hefty 60 minutes, not everything will land. Seriously, dEUS - at times a generic Alternative Rock band with forward-flashes of 2000's Indie Rock and Pop Punk - was capable of this? Lavish and varied in all possible dimensions - be it aggressive to soft ('A Shocking Lack Thereof' to 'Serpentine'), somber to humorous ('Gimme The Heat' to 'Supermarketsong'), textbook to outrageous ('Disappointed In The Sun' to 'Theme From Turnpike') - In A Bar, Under The Sea is a fantastic epic that showcases just how talented and audacious dEUS were. Suffice to say, having heard Worst Case Scenario and bits of The Ideal Crash, I was not expecting the sheer ambition and creativity of In A Bar, Under The Sea. THE DISCLOSED TABLOID OF AN OMNIPRESENT BAR-HOPPER Those assimilate to quite the Scandinavian style though, kinda like a Paavoharju's Yhä hämärää for Rock, not Folk. Essentially, moments of elusive grandeur emerge on nearly every song 'Valorians' and 'Tzar Morei' being my two favorites, but the patterns, sounds, and tones repeat themselves throughout. There's rarely a lull here, which sounds like a compliment - and, by and large, it is - but that makes the individual identities of Ujubasajuba's songs suspect. Heavy Psych and Atmospheric Sludge Metal round out the edges.
Every song here takes Shoegaze to monumental heights, merging those pleasant walls of sound with developing instrumental structures akin to Progressive Rock or even Post-Rock if it weren't so obtuse. But what Kairon IRSE!'s Ujubasajuba lacks in originality, it makes up for in sheer talent and composition. One wouldn't normally associate 2014 with Shoegaze, a niche Rock genre if there ever was one and one essentially burnt out by the turn of the century.

The cherry on a cake is Russian lyrics performed by bassist Dmitry Melet – for sure it makes difference. They create something special halfway between rock and metal. Sometimes the sounding is vast and ambiental, then it jumps out its borders with guitar solo and finally calms down – this is the cycle that the guys settle in a listener’s head. 🇫🇮 Kairon IRSE! is a name of Finnish band surfing from psychedelic rock to shoegaze and even something heavier and progressive.Īlthough it’s hard to define style of their music, this album leaves pretty pleasant feeling.
