New Wax
Cleveland duo Mr. Gnome seems very in tune with the nature of duality. Their new album Deliver This Creature is a bold marriage of warring elements. Singer/guitarist Nicole Barille has a beautiful voice, and on the opening track "Pirates," Barille's haunting vocals are laid over a repetitious piano riff that gives way to the sonic equivalent of a backhand to the face. I was minding my business, thinking general "Hmm, this song is pretty" thoughts until this gorgeous onslaught of drums and face-melting distorted guitar knocked me on my posterior. Deliver This Creature doesn't dabble in trendy genre-mixing for the hell of it, its experimentalism is well-measured and unwaivering in its effectiveness. So what does Mr. Gnome sound like? Well, take ethereal Fiona Apple-tinged vocals, add a dash of Pelican, and throw in a bad case of schizophrenia, and you're on the right track. Did I mention the drums on this album? Drummer Sam Meister might just need medication because these songs have some of the most manic drum-parts I've heard in some time. How an album can be so feminine and beautiful yet unpredictable and violent at the same time is beyond me, but I'm stoked on it. This is very unique and epic stuff. -- Capt. Obvious
