Dokaj nov band na sceni. Z svojo mešanico zajebantskega rock'n'rolla kuhajo zanimive komade z vonjem punka, alt. rocka, noisa, ekspirementalnih zvočnih in vokalnih dodatkov.
Skratka utrgano in samosvoje. Dober album, dober band.
Vredno čekiranja!

---------------------------------

Newer band on Slovenian scene, they mix different rock styles from punk-rock, alternative rock, rock'n'roll, noise and experimental.
Worth checking out!

MNMNTS - The Good Life



MNMNTS - The Good Life, 2011

Germany
Adagio830, 2011
Hardcore

(10 tracks, 34min, 12''~?~Mp3@vbr, 45MB)


Zanimiv svež nemški band MNMNTS z prvencem The Good Life, združi vonj po vseh mogočih bandih hardcore žanra. Suveren vokal, zanimiva struktura komadov in res odlični kitarski deli, ki nikakor ne rinejo v odspredje z solažnimi postavljanji, ampak dodajajo težo albumu z svojimi, mogoče preprostimi, a zelo učinkovitimi in čustvenimi melodijami.
Čeprav glasba sama ne odkriva tople vode in združuje zvoke tako emo, screamo, punk, post hardcora in zgodnje šole punk-hardcora, album vseeno deluje inovativno in je prav prijetna popestritev izdaj v letu 2011.
Vinilka je bila izdana za nemški Adagio830 v 500 primerkih (100belih, 400črnih) v gatefold ovitku z kul naslovnico in celo grafiko notranjosti.
Definitivno priporočam na poslušanje, če že ne kar nakup (TUKAJ). Mogoče boste zgolj ob enem in površnem poslušanju preslišali vse male lepote, ki jih pesmi skrivajo v svoji razgibanosti in drobcenih melodijah, zato si ga le zavrtite še drugič.
Očitno ni prodajni hit, tako da lahko par mesecov po izdaji še vedno dobite celo preorder edicijo na omenjenem belem vinilu.

---------------------------------


MNMNTS is a relatively new German band and this is their debut release for Adagio830. It comes on a 12'' LP limited to 500 copies (100 white and 400 black) and is packed in nice gatefold sleeve.
The music itself seems familiar at first, because you can hear many influences from early punk hardcore to post hardcore, screamo, punk and emo. But it is last to be boring and not worth listening.
Singers kind of unique (well yeah everyone has unique voice) and interesting and alive structure of songs makes this album very enjoyable for many times.
The solo guitar concludes this album just in a perfect way. Many very beautiful and emotional second guitar parts give this record a special taste and weight. It doesn't have the need and wish to be outstanding, but is included in every song just in the right way and amount.
I definitely recommend you to listen this album, maybe twice and than you will hear the beauty of it, if the beauty of melodies will skip your ear at the first time.
Also go and buy it (HERE), it is surprisingly still available in pre-order white edition. I think you can't regret it and the design of the whole record is also done very nicely.

(Quality of youtube sound is crap compared to
mp3s, so don't let that deceive you. Also turn to 360p)
