Redjetson and Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies @ The Soundhaus, Great Russell St, Northampton, 23.08.04

REDJETSON

Cecil B. Demille, the Empire State Building, Titanic, Homer's The Odyssey, Lord Of The Rings - all various kinds of Epic. Meet the new Epic: Redjetson.

06/09/2004

Epic is back. In fact listening to Redjetson and Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies create one great sonic layer cake of a song after another, makes you wonder how anyone every fit their emotions into three-and-a-half minutes.

In Redjetson lurks a grand, inspiring plan which transcends lazy Mogwai/Radiohead comparisons and will soon place them as tribal leaders of an emerging group of bands not afraid of casting pop/rock conventions aside and forging a majestic, ethereal soundscape of their own. Starting as they mean to go on, opener ‘A Reptile Cold Blood’ sees guitarists Dan Carney, Daniel Hills, Ian Jarrold and Grant Taylor (bass) strike out on a pulsating, rhythmic journey to some distant Aboriginal horizon and not returning for nigh on seven minutes. Clive Kentish is their leader, vying with the militaristic crash and roll of drummer Joel Hussey to propel the whole thing forward with mournful, yearning vocals – he looks like the saddest soul alive. And also Earl Spencer…which is strangely appropriate, as Redjetson could be the more articulate, yet equally intense older brother to Hope of the States’ wide-eyed, highly-strung Sam Herlihy.

If Redjetson scale an art-rock wall of dizzying heights, then Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies are the tangled, bewildering fall back down the other side. Employing something more like the frenetic guitar craziness of ThisGIRL with the FX pedal of serious experimentalists, theirs is the sound of youthful exuberance to Redjetsons’ ancestral maturity – still dark, but peppered with precision feedback and playground chants. It’s a listening challenge, but when Redjetson climb on stage and plug in their guitars – count them, SIX guitarists in full swing – for the closing track it’s about all we the audience (and the Soundhaus’ PA system) can take.

Lots of sound. Lots of volume. Lots of emotion. Epic is back – make room for it in your life.
