NOTE: I'm tagging this avant-garde because I have no idea else how to tag it,
but it's pretty goddamn awesome. It's got metal/hardcore in it, post-rock,
neo-classical, jazz, and a bunch of different stuff in between. Experimental
enthusiasts should DEFINITELY check this out! Check out the review below for a
better idea. Enjoy!
MUTYUMU is a band from Japan, formed in 2001, and their self-titled debut was
released in October 2006.Mutyumu are a five (or six)-person group whose web site
describes them as a ôfuneral classical band,ö an interesting concept. How else
to describe a group that somehow fuses chamber music, death metal, Dead Can
Dance, and Godspeed You Black Emperor-style drama into their songs? The tracks
here range from a delicate piano intro, a heavy keys-drums-guitar fuzz piece,
rock-metal-violin opera, and more. Vocalist Hachisunoit can sound like a demon
or an angel, and the music supports whichever role she takes on.Mutyumu list an
extensive roster of influences to their music; among the artists mentioned are
Johann Sebastian Bach, Dead Can Dance, U2, Nine Inch Nails and Dimmu Borgir - a
wide range of influences, all of which are actual musical references.
Will you like it? I think the answer depends on your tolerance for wildly
disparate kinds of music; your patience for long and perhaps self-indulgent
(though always melodic) mostly instrumental compositions; and, probably, your
mood when you put this disc into your CD player. IÆm going to recommend it not
only because of the bandÆs bravery and talent but also because, wildly divergent
though the styles on this album are, the whole thing is interesting, even
beguiling. Just be warned that youÆre in for a unique experience.Fans of
experimental music in general, and in particular those with musical tastes
ranging from metal to ambient, classical and jazz should find this release to be
quite fascinating.
