The Implosion Quintet
I Don’t Hear A Single EP Cookshop Records

Article written by Ged M - Oct 12, 2009

This has a weird soundtrack quality, as if it belongs in an obscure European movie you stumble over late one night on Film Four, then can’t stop watching because it has a hypnotic strangeness of sound. It’s the oddest blend of Eastern European folk, prog rock, electronica, sampled-pop and opera, as if Beirut had co-opted John Barry. Yet it’s more satisfying than James Baker’s ‘The Future Sound of Yesterday’ album, released earlier this summer, mainly because the four tracks share a common sound, even if each song combines different styles. The excellent ‘Jalopy Peppers’, for example, starts like a Balkan folk song with wheezing accordion before it drops in dramatic snatches of opera, and then stoner rock. That mixture of grand design and playful touches makes this EP a satisfying, if eccentric, listen.
