:: ::
:: "Kokon" represents an interesting departure for Angizia, ::
:: a more melodic, straightforward and pretty record than ::
:: the schizoid wackiness of "Ein Toten fahrt gern ::
:: Ringelspiel." The overall mood is more relaxed and sad ::
:: than the jaunty, sometimes clownish vaudeville of the ::
:: last few releases. The most aggressive sound on the album ::
:: occurs in the first few minutes in the form of a gunshot. ::
:: From there the album falls into an easy groove alternating ::
:: between proper songs and atmospheric soliloquies, with ::
:: bits of classical guitar (courtesy of AngiziaÆs composer ::
:: Emmerich Haimer), jazzy piano (by David Six) and some ::
:: unusually funky bass lines, sprinkled over with some tango- ::
:: esque dance rhythms and occasional metal riffs. Which is ::
:: isnÆt to say there arenÆt more rollicking or bombastic ::
:: moments; the rhythmic and upbeat "Ein Quantchen Giftö and ::
:: the heavy guitar-driven "Mass Fuer Mass,ö both pack ::
:: considerable oomph. ::
:: As a piece of musical theater the album seems more ::
:: realistic and introspective than the last few Angizia ::
:: albums. Songs like the melodious "Es ist Leidenschaftö ::
:: exemplify the general feeling of wistful malaise, with a ::
:: sweet duet between lyricist Michael Haas and vocalist ::
:: Irene Denner, his voice searching and lost, hers strong ::
:: and reassuring. ThereÆs little of the manic aggressiveness ::
:: of "Ein Toter,ö and considerably more focus, with the ::
:: bandÆs characteristic weirdness and fey theatrics reined ::
:: in somewhat. The end result is not as fun as past efforts, ::
:: but itÆs more immediate, direct and emotionally grabbing. ::
:: I wouldnÆt really describe it as maturation since Angizia ::
:: have always had old souls, but it does represent a band ::
:: tightening the belt and playing within certain, ::
:: artistically precribed limits. ::
:: ::
:: Angizia have clearly achieved a high level of confidence, ::
:: content to use their considerable gifts to create ::
:: beautiful, almost fragile music without playing it up with ::
:: pointless virtuosity or the weirdness-for-weirdness sake ::
:: attitude plaguing much of experimental rock and metal. ::
:: "Kokonö is all about the craft. ::
