Review:
Ninehorn
take you back to a simpler time when the music and lyrics mattered as
much as each other. Ninehorn's sound is influenced by early era
QOTSA. Hell even the lead vocals sounds like a younger and more
interested Josh Homme. I mean that as a huge compliment as Josh Homme
was one of my favourite vocalists back in the day.
Ninehorn
add a more Alternative Rock approach to their blend of Fuzz/Stoner
Rock. Ninehorn have elements of Groove and Desert Rock to give their
debut EP an extra vibrant feel. The EP flows naturally from beginning
to end and will go down a storm with the QOTSA crowd.
Songs
such as Weightless Fun, Gimme Gimme and Heart + Brain are played
superbly well as the band entertain from you start to finish. The
psychedelic vibes from Gimme Gimme add a trippy spaced out edge that
show you there's more to Ninehorn's music than basic Stoner/Desert
riffs.
Ninehorn's
debut EP is a release that I can listen to all-day as it contains a
huge sense of fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. The band
show a keen eye for melody and have written superb lyrics to match.
Heart + Brain is the perfect example of this. As Ninehorn blend
beautifully played quiet riffs against the heavier and more
aggressive Stoner Metal sounds.
Take
a chance on Ninehorn's debut EP and you will pleasantly be surprised.
These guys could be on the verge of something special indeed. I hope
the full length album is being released soon as that's where Ninehorn
will have the potential to surprise a lot of folks.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
