About Me |

| "Firmly committed to bringing back that monstrous riff-heavy rock of the seventies, but dragging it kicking and screaming into the new millennium, Mos Generator create their own version of a great beer party blowout soundtrack." - ripple effect (US) "In a postmodern world, looking backward has as much value as looking forwards. Mos Generator are unashamedly staring the 70's straight in its bloodshot eye, and doing a damn fine job of it too. The usual postmodernist take on musical genres is to update them somehow; to rob the clothes and leave the flesh behind, like dressing up in your parents' wardrobe relics for a night out. Irony, pastiche, the knowing smugness of the culture vulture ... none of that from Mos Generator. Rather than simply taking the stink of 70's rock as a starting point, they've taken it as their end-point too. Looking back at what in retrospect looks like little more than an era of bad drugs and worse fashion choices, it's easy to forget that the 70's was when heavy metal found its true voice, and penned the blueprint for the multitude of subgenres that proliferate today. The obvious canonical touchstone is always Black Sabbath, and Mos Generator's music unsurprisingly has similarities to the early sound of Black Sabbath. But unlike a lot of stoner rock outfits, Mos Generator have looked further afield, and 'Songs For Future Gods' features the bright melodic hooks familiar from 'lighter' bands like Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy. So you've got your strong central riffs, naturally; but it's not just about rumbling around in drop-D tunings for six minutes per song - there's dynamic motion, contrasting passages full of light and air that throw the jagged rocks of the riff valleys into sharp relief and cast long shadows deep into the songs. It's nothing new, and there's no arguing the toss about that. But it has an authenticity and attention to detail that can only be produced by skilled and dedicated craftsmen at work in a medium they love with a passion." Paul Raven / penny black musiv (UK) "Mos Generator really can't be cornered into any specific genre, or, as this album exhibits, even a specific era. They are self-professed "seventies rock preservationists" with the sound of a Black Sabbath Rush crossed with a Deep Zepplin Floyd, yet sometimes they sing of a prophetic time period, seemingly light years away. The mind is in a constant state of flux between the sonic old-schooledness and these futuristic mental pictures. Then it bounces you back to the present day. It?s fuckin' strange, but excitedly intriguing." - Bill Mickelson/Nada Mucho (USA)..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5 ON THE EVE - ROADBURN FESTIVAL - TILBURG HOLLAND 2008 |
