Lokbrá - Army of Soundwaves
(Lucid Records)
Reviewed by Mark Oster'''
 
Here at Badresa, we don't review too many records from Reykjavik.
But Lokbrá's debut album is getting sent around stateside by Lake County's Lucid Records, so, into our lap it falls.
But yeah, they are from Iceland...
 
 
Now that the collection of listeners that get their wallets out as soon as they read the word "Reykjavik" have moved on to Interpunk, I
can tell the more discerning of you what this album is about. Frankly, it's pretty good, but in a different way than you usually expect from
the island nation. With Moog and delayed Fender Telecaster, they explore the atmosphere of sound, much like Sigur Rós, however, their music is further
rooted in the 70s than even the admittedly Eno-esque Rós. Lokbrá gets it& muse from the more soulful and progressive aspect of the decade, recalling
"Some Girls" era Stones, "Abbey Road" era Beatles, Pink Floyd, Yes, and a host of others over the course of the hourlong album, often smoothly jumping
from one to another over the course of a song. But Lokbrá hardly comes off as self-indulgent,
remaining tuneful and catchy throughout, with melodic, somewhat spacey, vocals, not unlike an Icelandic David Gilmour,
soar above in broken but clear English. I don't think those who left us earlier to buy the album are going to be disappointed,
album are going to be disappointed, but I would also recommend it for fans of modern revivalist acts ranging from My Morning Jacket all the way to The Mars Volta.
