Norwegian band 22 streams their new album "Flux"

[hypotc]

These guys are great. They play strange polyrhytmic indie/altrock music. Think of Mew mashed with Meshuggah!

Kerrang! 22 stream their album Flux on Kerrang.com!


Check out the vid for Plastik here:



I also recommend checking out Flux, Oxygen and Abdomental!

 

[Kali Yuga]

This is awesome!

 

[Grack]

Really chill music. I like it.

 

[hypotc]

Yeah, it's really great! They have really energetic live shows aswell!

 

[loktide]

dig it

will give their album a listen later

 

[Volteau]

It's so entrancing :O

 

[Kali Yuga]

It really makes me think of a rougher sounding, more interesting Muse. But, I can't stand Muse, and like this... not sure what that means. It's mostly all in the vocals.

It's like The Dear Hunter were thrown in a blender with Shining. I like.

Decided to just purchase from iTunes instead because this sounds like awesome driving around music.

More twang than Vildhjarta! Ultratwang.

 

[Misanthropy]

Digging this! vocals sound very Panic! at the Disco.

 

[hypotc]

Supportive bump!

 

[Sikthness]

this needs a bump. This is a strong contender for album of the year for me. At least top 5, this shit came outta nowhere and has been rockin my world since I heard it.

Mew and Meshuggah are possibly my two favorite bands but this just is lacking something. It doesn't have any of the aggression of Meshuggah (obviously) but it also totally lacks Mew's ethereal vocals, frequently gorgeous melodies and knack for writing really memorable choruses. It's like they just listened to Apocalypto's intro and were like "let's do THAT!" I like their influences and clearly they're talented but based on this vid and "oxygen" they just are all technicality and I really hate the vocal style.
