Tuber is a band from
Serres,
Greece or are they? They blend the desert sound,
post-rock and psychedelic in an instrumental palate that paints some
incredible pictures. Instruments in a band setting are colors, tonal
colors; musicians create aural visuals and take your mind on journeys
that are personal. The plus with being an instrumental band is that
the listeners make up their own story.
Words don’t cloud the issue.
Tuber does this
incredibly well and improves upon this from their 2012 self-titled
EP.
Tuber is comprised of:
Yannis Gerostathos -
Guitars
Yannis Artzoglou -
Guitars
Nickos Gerostathos -
Drums
Paris Fragkos - Bass
In a previous interview
here on Sludgelord with Paris, the band’s history is well
documented. With the addition of guitarist; Yannis Artzoglou they are
exploring even more colors.
This
album has 6 songs, the shortest clocking in at close to the 5-minute
mark. They are not looking for pop music hits; Tuber is taking you on
a desert ride via the cosmos!
Desert Overcrowded
begins the journey quite nicely.
Sucker Punch explodes
at the 2-minute mark and doesn’t look back.
Firebird starts with a
pounding bass and keeps the guitars separated until they crash into
each other.
Last Drop of fuel in
the tank or whiskey in the bottle, pulses along and finds a melodic
groove.
Cause We Didn’t Find
Our Way begins in a somber reflective space and come out fighting
The South Will Prevail
is a great way to end this album, syncopated intro into jarring, yet
melodic chords and then finding melody and just when you are coming
down, Tuber hit you again with a brilliant ending
