The Young Gods - Everybody Knows

The Young Gods have been conjuring their heavy blend of rock, metal and electro with ambient and classical for twenty-five years.  This is a band that soundtracks the great unknown with ballads for outer worlds. 'Everybody Knows' is their 14th album, it vibrates to the sound of some newly discovered ancient music,  psychedelic rock and ambient electronics. As 1968 makes way for 2010, "No Land's Man" (a future live behemoth) dynamites the brain with its Hendrixian solos. The manic tension doesn't falter as the band follows up with "Mister Sunshine", a shamanic meditation and colossal anthem. The record also has its share of softer moments on "Two To Tango" & "Aux Anges". It almost goes without saying that The Young Gods are as breathtaking and tight as ever. Franz Treichler, Al Comet, Bernard Trontin and Vincent Hänni have produced an undefinable album with acoustic, electric, electronic, vintage and avant garde elements that subtly reference recent albums ("Knock On Wood", "Woodstock") as well as their majestic past ("TV Sky", "Second Nature").
