Jeniferever - Iris
I always had a bit of a penchant for Northern European bands...you know, Logh, Last Days of April, Explosions in the Sky and all that maudlin yet quixotic pessimism, so imagine how pleased I was to add yet another piece of tender curiosity from that ethereal side of the continent to my record collection...and you know what makes it even better... it’s yet another release from Big Scary Monsters! With the keen attention to detail those guys lovingly afford all their releases I feel equally confident in claiming that this might just be the most beautifully packaged CD I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing all year. Accentuating barren soundscapes and lush plains with an aural intensity of glacial proportion, Jeniferever orchestrate harmoniously bleak bards with the sonic affiliation of Mogwai and the disdainful propulsion of The Spires of Oxford. This is permissive music for the intrepid navel gazer and if you want to hear one of the most diffidently beautiful bands to grace to UK with their presence this year, you’re rather fortunate that BSM have flat-packed them for your convenience and are ready to deliver.
