The Experimental Tropic Blues Band // Liquid Love
The entire album is raw with its unedited music that makes the album appear fresh.
It begins with a messy ensemble of notes and instruments clashing together to form no foreseeable tune, one soon evolves however within the cacophony of mangled sounds and the upbeat brash nature of the song evolves; a theme present in nearly each of their songs. Despite this, each song contains its own individuality amidst the throng of similarities. The cover is not strewn with hidden meanings of abstract ideals, it is merely a simplistic picture taken outside of a club appearing to imitate the life and fervour that is their music. The Experimental Tropic Blues Band is exactly what it says on the cover, experimental and tropic in the atmospheres it creates and the music it has produced. The entire album is raw with its unedited music that makes the album appear fresh. The lack of auto tuned editions still containing background sounds makes their music rare and unique. The album may not be the epitome of versatility, but the experimentation of adding different genres would seem wrong. It is an album of specified sounds; new editions would seem outlandish and inane. The constant mash of instruments turns rather repetitive and monotonous, slowly increasing in unpleasantness as the songs progress. Regardless of this, by straying away from music that seems refined to an unnatural perfection, an album has been created that is appealing in the rawness of the songs and the talent of the musicians.
