Putting the Booooooooooooosssseeeeeee in Higgs-Boson. Review No. 2


Bose; that's with two dots over the 'o' by the way. Holy shit, we're on another here guys - No.2 of the series and boy it's a doozy.

band: Bose (with double dot over the o) 
Album: Ultimate Temple of Doom
Date: March 18th 2015



Hoo boy! Now most of you kids are probably going - "The fuck is this shit?" Well jimbo, shut the fuck up and let me tell you.

Back in 1971 in German.... West Germany; a few krauts decided to create something called Krautrock. Very atmospheric, melodic, and to a point - down right weird music, using the best of their ability with their instrumentations. This shit was some serious academic psychedelia, with a thesis in fucking your mind.

Now to give credit to Bose, they freely admit all their music is purely based on running jam-sessions. Which surprises me to no end! Jam sessions are masks of chaos and occasionally the guitarist tweaking his string (fuck that asshole, we making music!) But Bose is something different; it feels like a real mellow psychedelic album. Their tempo structure and timing oddly harmonized (with witchcraft no less >.>) The players taking their roles with a serious professionalism that can be found with a band that has long history playing together; which Bose has a lot of (im counting 23 or 24 releases on their bandcamp :P). Then again, to capture a spirit of experimentation that harks back to the early 70s with rock n roll.

These Poles from the steppes and .... whatever Poland calls it, really do their style proud and justice. However it may not be the cup of tea of everyone in the room, but people looking for a band to otherwise tingle their creative senses with an edge of atmospheric loving care. Please feel free to check them out.

My personal rating, its a solid 3 and half out of these guys, purely - purely; I want to see what happens when these guys write songs and really hanker down to make what could be a god-awesome stoner doom album to rival Dopesmoker (big words) .

Bose, keep it up - you're cosmic element in the universe. the Booooooooooosssssseeeeee in Higgs-Boson.
