THE ALTERED HOURS
In Heat - Not Sorry
Art For Blind Records
Review by Johnny Black for HiFiNews, 2016
The monotonously repetitive opening moments of this Irish band’s abrasive debut LP tested my patience severely but I’m glad I stuck with it to discover a dark, disturbing musical world shot through with pretty melodies, chilly feedback, twinkly guitars, hypnotic basslines and a sense of menace rarely encountered outside the work of the early Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth or Big Star’s Third. The intertwining vocals of Cathal Mac Gabhann and Elaine Howley could almost be duets by Leonard Cohen and enigmatic German chanteuse Nico. The set is split into two parts of which I find the Not Sorry section the most entrancing, but the whole album is worth hearing.
