Spartak - Verona

Read my entire review on The Silent Ballet.

Verona has many sounds, but it is one thing: a wonderful sounding experiment. Structures are as loose as they come, provoking folks to use terms like "high concept sound art." The pieces are a bit frenetic to be simple installation pieces, but it definitely would be neat to see the band playing in a Matthew Barney film. Australia's musical climate has helped forge yet another quality group crafting a listenable experimental release, and, while Verona feels like a stepping stone to the next big reveal for Spartak, it does not disappoint. This is quality sound adventuring.
