0691. The Icarus Line
Penance Soirée
In Sweden we've got this thing called Göteborgshumor, which
is like dad jokes put to a whole new level. Why do I tell
you this, you may ask and I'll reply cause either this band's
got the worst case of Göteborgshumor I've seen in a while or
I'm too damaged from hanging out with people from Gothenburg.
"Icarus Line" just seems like a spin of "A Chorus Line",
and that pretty much sums up Göteborgshumor.
As for the music, well that's a whole different story!
Sounding like a mashup of Mudhoney and The Mars Volta (also some Black Sabbath), or in other words: very heavy, technical and dirty and it's a pleasure to hear. There's just so much stuff going on in the music I hardly have time to listen to the lyrics.
This is the type of band that makes you not want to see the videos cause you just know you'll be disappointed.
