Search - Normal Love :: Survival Tricks

THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM FROM THIS UNCOMPROMISINGLY DENSE UNIT. MINDBENDINGLY MODERN, DETAILED CHAMBER SKRONK. A DEVASTATINGLY BIONIC MUSICAL VISION! NORMAL LOVE creates bracingly intense modern music of shrewd density and unique imagination orchestrated for processed voices, guitars, violin, drums and various electronics. Everything about the band displays a cultivated air of alien logic, from their densely detailed sonic conception to their surreal, blacklit live presentation. SURVIVAL TRICKS is their second full-length release, a culmination of years of work and progression following their self-titled debut released in 2007 on High Two Records. Their sound evokes an epicurean fusion of influences as varied as Modern Classical, Rock In Opposition prog, Extreme Metal, Noise, Improvised Music and No Wave. There is little use in pigeonholing Normal Love: Their sound will appeal to all those seeking the true cutting edge of contemporary experimental rock music. The group formed in 2005 and its members currently reside in New York City and Philadelphia. Normal Love don t simply fuse noise, skronk, live electronics, fire-breathing and new music for the sake of genre-killing or academic posturing, but aim to build majestic, well fortified sound-castles for the post-nihilist movement of emerging experimentalists to dwell. -Philadelphia Weekly
