Out
Of Space are a strange hybrid of sounds featuring Space, Grunge,
Stoner and Fuzz for one highly charged and hugely entertaining debut
EP. Invaders will invade your mind with it's fuzzy riffs and dirty
desert rock grooves. Opening track – Bloody Road – is a hard
rocking number packed full of intricate progressive riffs which I
didn't expect at all. Throw in high amounts of grungy fuzz and Out Of
Space are onto a winner here. Nicolas vocals have a slight punk vibe
and it's cool to hear his true gruff vocal style of delivery. No
studio wizardry here. Just good old fashioned music the way its'
meant to be played.
Second
track – Lined Coin – is a more grungier affair with a stripped
back approach but you can still hear the Stoner and Fuzz elements of
the bands music. It even has a psychedelic trippy vibe especially
with the guitars. I like how the band keep the sound and atmosphere
very lo-fi as it gives a real authenticity to their music. Though you
will be too busy enjoy the spacey riffs that Out Of Space have
created here. Lined Coin is one of the EP's standout tracks.
Definitely worth a few repeat listens or two...
Third
Track – Psycho Jake – opens with a slow-paced slightly creepy
trippy riff with the band adding different noises with each passing
second. When the song finally kicks into life you're transported back
into Out Of Space's world where the riffs and vocals combine for
another fantastic fuzzy space rock encounter. Out Of Space add a dash
of sonic experimentation to the mix as Psycho Jake contains a few
glitchy ambient moments spliced with the stoner riffs. It works
brilliantly well as it gives Psycho Jake a slight mean spirited vibe.
Fourth
Track – Riot – is back to normal lo-fi dirty punk good old
fashioned Stoner Rock business. This is another mean and moody track
to show Out Of Space have many different sides to them. Though they
do know how to write a lean and mean Stoner/Hard Rock track packed
with guts and attitude to match. The vocals may falter here and then
but you can't deny how good the music actually is.
Last
but by no means least is the almost 16 minute monster by the name of
– Desert In Bloom – a trippy psychedelic and gigantic exercise in
noise and riffs. Out Of Space throw everything at you here: Stoner,
Fuzz, Psych, Grunge, Prog Rock and lashes of SPACEY riffs. It may
start off very quiet and at a slow pace but give it time as you ain't
heard nothing yet. When Out Of Space unleash the heavy carnage then
all hell breaks loose. Sounds and rhythms combine for one epic
battle. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. This is definitely the best
track on the EP. Fantastic stuff!!!
Invaders
is a thrilling and action packed EP that I can't recommend highly
enough. Excellent stuff. You can buy Invaders on BandCamp Buy Now
