About Me |
|
| Spurring forward a change in direction which is both new and familiar, One Unique Signal will finish out 2007 by committing to tape their very latest sonic emissions which will show the band returning to their slow-burning drone rock roots, while still utilising the grinding repetition for which they made their name as a formidable live outfit.
The story begins in 2000 with the name Windomn Chikkarah, Tremolo for drums and feedback filling the void of lead guitar made absent. Referencing late 80’s British guitar bands like The Telescopes, Spacemen 3, MBV & Loop, the concept evolved to offer an alternative to the burgeoning Post / Math Rock scene. The tremolo’s were in turn replaced by drums with the arrival of Lee Barber who stepped up with balls to introduce Vocals to the sound which, in itself had become more structured, edging away from drones and ambience and encompassing a more repetitious bass driven feel. It was during this time that One Unique Signal found their feet as a live outfit, as Drowned in Sound put it back in 2005; “One Unique Signal play with the ferocious detachment of men so far gone in possession that everything else has become irrelevant.” The release of Lowry in August 2003 began a relationship between Genepool Records and One Unique Signal which led to the release of a full length album almost four years later. Tribe, Castle and Nation was plagued with mixing problems and survived two major hard drive crashes, but by the time of its release, two of the band members (Ed Harding & Lee Barber) had decided to call it quits. Taking some time out to amass new influences and find their feet as they evolved into the current 5 piece line up, One Unique Signal are now sounding larger than ever. Along with the new faces came a new dynamic in the song crafting process. More of a natural evolution rather than a drastic re-think, the new material prefers to think of standard rock influences as a point of reference rather than a blueprint. Repetitious drums sit alongside wall of noise guitars, feedback, tremolos and ear piercing wah. Taking obscene levels of noise and accommodating them into recognisable forms, the music seems at once both malevolent and comforting.

Their angular, jagged rock gives the impression that each instrument is attacking every other; the drums played with the clockwork regularity of the inevitable while the guitars siren and howl and the drummer sings with an casual deadpan intent. The music never does what you expect, all sudden rises and falls littered with mood and tempo changes. Its intense and exciting stuff, the kind of music which sucks you in more and more over the duration of the set as the absorption of the band in their music begins to translate itself into the mind of the audience, and as you realise exactly how unusual their sound is. ______DROWNED IN SOUND_____ Drawn out bouts of feedback dissolve then erupt into mangled guitar lines, scrawling all over the just audible melodies with disregard and contempt like a moody child deliberately going outside the lines of their colouring book. At their most basic One Unique Signal are like a Math Rock Interpol, the drummer adding icy cold monotone vocals to the complex yet precision guitar attack, but at their most experimental are like not much else out there right now. ______GOD IS IN THE TV_____ One Unique Signal seem the biggest draw, and it's easy to see why. Drone rock. Spacemen 3-Stooges axis. Difficult to get something fresh from such a well-tapped vein, but they do exactly that with panache. And a singing drummer, which is inexplicably cool. The three guys in front of him play with heads-down conviction and create a pile-driving noise like Hawkwind vs. 2005-era Fall; sleek, minimal and charred black, shot with ribbons of echo and scissoring feedback. They could get by on hypnotic insistence alone, but it helps that the tunes are great too. ____ROBOTS + ELECTRIC BRAINS____ Record Label: Genepool Records Type of Label: Indie |
