MOLOSSER CRUDE: I AM DISTORTION
That’s where you’ll find your heart
In between those twin moons
These words come from the chorus of ”Twin Moons”, opening track of Swedish alternative heavy rock duo Molosser Crude’s first album, ”I Am Distortion”. They could also serve as a description of Molosser Crude: In the middle of a tight orbit formed by drummer/singer Tess and guitarist Jahn, the music is a living, throbbing heart that’s moved in tidal rhythms by the two circling satellites in shifting patterns of darkness and light.
More darkness than light, perhaps. As well as in the music, the darkness prevails in Tess’ lyrics. Just like the lyrics of many other heavy acts, they often deal with demons and monsters, but these demons live within and the monsters wear a suit and tie or the false smile of an intolerant neighbour.
Like bands such as All Them Witches, Queens of the Stone Age or Melvins, they live in an in-between territory, making their very own brew from influences in stoner rock, noise rock and gnarly blues, but also soul and free jazz, something that becomes evident not least in Tess’ expressive vocals and Jahn’s excursions onto the thin ice of improvisation. The duo’s extensive use of the voice as an instrument and the instrument as a voice is another element that sets Molosser Crude apart from many other hard-riffing combos. As is of course the unusual combo of vocals and drums, but it fits Tess perfectly as she’s bursting with multi-focused energy.
The tracks on “I Am Distortion” show Molosser Crude in a more produced setting than the earlier live-in-the-studio recordings, with some use of overdubs and effects. It’s still just the guitar, drums and vocals, though. Molosser Crude have already started recording their next album, with a rougher, rawer and more straightforward sound inspired by their live performances. Keep your ears peeled!
