The newie from Chrome Hoof is a prog masterpiece. There is a deluge of styles and instrumentation. They seem to be more like a demented orchestra than a conventional "Rock Band". They do rock though, these guys are not making music for baggy trousered ballet enthusiasts. The main ingredients for a Chrome Hoof dish are as follows..Take a pinch of high energy, superhuman chops, add two teaspoons of interlocking grooves and turn on a sixpence dynamics, add an ounce of lush passages of prog Rock, ala King Crimson Red era and yer well on your way to a Chrome Hoof feast. If an otherwordly experience is what your hankering for, then dont hesitate to purchase this record...It's 'Hoofing brilliant' etc.....
What can you say about a 12-piece doom house electro-disco metal phenomenon that dress like sacred knights fromthe 25th century? Relentlessly heavy, with singer Lola Olafsoye sounding like a South London sorceress having anervous breakdown on Neptune while tribal drums, rock guitars, staccato violins, grumbling oboes and a metallic basspound away in the background, Crush Depth is the ultimate encapsulation of this undeniable band s powers. It variouslysounds like the soundtrack to a lost episode of Blake s Seven, the best disco Grace Jones never performed at, the insideof a Black Hole, and The Apocalypse.Or, to put it simply, it sounds like the future.We are slowly catching up with Chrome Hoof. We should not be scared.the Deluxe 2LP version (w/ bonus track / MP3 code) will be out in June:For Fans of: Parliament, Sun Ra, Secret Chiefs 3,Noisettes, Praxis
