Fierce & The Dead. The - Spooky Action (2013)

The second album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, synths and loops.

Two guests added cello, saxophone and trumpet.

I have known about this band since they started up as one of their members are a Facebook friend of mine. But I did not try to get their albums before now and it seems like their 2011 debut album is no longer available. Hence, I have to bypass that album and instead review their three other studio albums this winter.

The music here is a mix of math-rock and post-punk. 

All of the music on this forty minutes long album is instrumental.

The music is very brutal at times. But most of the album is not that brutal. It is more gentle.

The music is far more eclectic than melodic. That means... the music is not melodic at all. There are some weird, almost flamenco rock piece here. That is what goes for melodic here.

The saxophone and trumpet is sporadic adding some more weirdness to the mostly guitars driven music. 

The result is decent to good album. There is no really interesting details here but it is still an album well worth checking out.

2.5 points
