Guitars weaving riffs from all directions, eclectically layered to produce ecstatic peaks and soaring melodies. Add growling bass and hyperactive dominance drums. Some keyboards, but the real emphasis is upon the interplay of brilliant guitarwork. There exists a strong cosmic sense to Djam Karet's sound. Their tunes cavort in a free-fall environment, contorting against a backdrop of twinkling darkness.
Attention gripping music, the performance is glorious with an art-rock intensity.
Fun-time for intelligentsia. There is a fairly frantic pace to most of these tunes. Intricate guitar riffs wind around durable drumming, with smooth basslines lurking in the mix. Even the more sedate pieces possess a peppy liveliness. It's a concept album, deriving cohesion in being a study of a near-century of popular music indigenous to American culture.
