Gold albums unforgettable: "Strength In Numbers" UTAH


Last night a fan of the Facebook website told us that had been recommended by Binaural.es in "Critical Eye" RNE. I could not help get excited to play such a program. As I listened to the comments of the announcers began to remember some of those forgotten records that led me to start this modest blog. One of them was one that was years since I put on my iPod, but still continues today, somewhere hidden in my heart. The LP in question is "Strength In Numbers", the debut album of a little band called UTAH.
UTAH quintet was born in Aarhus in 2005 that an alternative rock flying very close to that much like in Denmark in the mid-90. The influence of first-Kashmir was more than obvious, but we got a glimpse of much more than that in the eleven tracks that completed the compact. In its own way "Strength In Numbers" has always reminded me a perfect puzzle where all the pieces, despite being different fit.
No wonder at all that from the very beginning the renowned Scandinavian label Playground Music is set at Both Jesper and company. Each and every one of the tracks on the album has a special magic from 'Peace Of Mind' to these two parts rock dirty and brutally titled 'Come Home' coming to a close the album tremendously. What topics would stay in "Strength In Numbers"? Tough choice. Something for everyone: a half times, chestnuts guitarfish as the already mentioned "Come Home Part. I "or ballads of the most digestible. Nevertheless I have always felt a special fondness for the melodic 'Alien Battle', for 'Break The Mould' (where the voice of Jesper get going until the farthest corners of the Milky Way) and "Crash & Burn ', a issue clear / dark could well be the 'The Funeral' (Band Of Horses) in Danish key. Very careful with the end of this last song: go strake piece guitar / drums that stick in there!.
Maybe the website of these guys is half destroyed, and that not even in Denmark people remember them. But the reality is that in 2007 these guys came to impress me with a "Strength In Numbers" reaching a note that it could be argued that the excellent scratch. From here just ask you to give him a chance, if any of you hits 10% of what struck me at the time me and I will be more than happy. Is that what this is about what to write on this site, right? ;). Magic.
