DŸSE - DŸSE

talent, weirdness and ineffably danceable tunes

Album Review by Jamie Borthwick | 11 May 2007
Album title: DŸSE
Artist: DŸSE
Label: Exile on Mainstream
This eponymous debut LP sees DŸSE steam out of Amsterdam's undergrowth with the intention of invading the ears of the unsuspecting public. Its seedy mush of driving stoner rock, discordant guitar jabs and ruckus riffs is unseemly chaos at its finest, flinging you from a head-bobbing Kyuss homage into spiky metrical nightmares with a blatant disregard for structural convention. The vocals are hurtled with blind fury, a wry smile and a knowing wink. Though mainly in Dutch, the majority of the lyrics are incomprehensible anyway; the voice is just another tool of aural anarchy for DŸSE. Underlaydisk is a highlight, showcasing the band's talent, weirdness and ineffably danceable tunes. The indulgence of the music could be off-putting to some (the trumpet solos in Wolke are pushing it a bit) but DŸSE will be a cheeky, fresh-faced delight to most who venture into their world.
