Aah, the sounds of the voiceless, almost always a pleasure to listen to. Yes, I love instrumental music, and in that aspect I rarely even care what kind of music it is. Be it rock, metal, dark jazz, industrial or even some subgenres of electronic dance music, as long as they keep their yap shut, I'm appeased. In fact, I'd love this human society a lot more if everyone would just quit chattering and whining.
But I'm divagating, sorry about that. On to the review...
Hegy (which translates as 'mountain' in their native tongue) is a trio from Hungary formed in April of 2015. They too seem to like instrumental music and they too don't seem to care about what kind of music it is. Blending elements from post-rock, noise-rock, sludge, stoner and noise rock, they now come up with an interesting debut. '80 Miles Out & 6 Feet Under' is a wicked trip, sometimes weird and dissonant, sometimes psychedelic and immersive.
Strangely enough, there isn't a massive array of bands coming to mind when I listen to songs like opener 'It's Alive! It's Alive!' or the energetic 'Would You Hold Still, Please Sir?'. Monkey3 perhaps, or A Place To Bury Strangers. Maybe a touch of Lightning Bolt and a taste of The Melvins. Explosions In The Sky meets The Ocean meets Colour Haze? I don't really know. All I know is that this is scintillating music.
'Black Glacier' made me decide to recommend this trio for the famous Belgian Dunk! festival. I think Hegy would fit in perfectly with the eccentric mix of post-rock related bands. They would certainly stand out, be just that bit different to make a genuine impact. The massive, seventeen minutes lasting title track will make a lot of audience members reach a state of trance, me included. So yeah, check this thing out, it's dazzling...
