Studio - West CoastI think Swedish outfit Studio deserves an award for having the most difficult name to search for online (next to !!! and The Band, perhaps). If it hadn't been for a brief foray into an online music store, I probably never would have discovered this album at all. Fortunately, I did, because it's a classy bit of work.
If you're familiar with the work of Krautrock artists Can and Neu, this album should strike a few familiar chords, but Studio's sound is still quite unique. The first track, 'Out There' builds into a pulsating, tropical cadence, and 'Self Service' and 'Origin' add vaguely new-wave vocals to the mix. Most of the catchier hooks come from the bass guitar- an instrument which is often neglected, but used to its fullest effect here.
Highly recommended.
Highlights: 'Out There', 'Self Service'.
