Chris Corner aka. IAMX just unveiled a video for the song I Come With Knives. After The Unified Field and Quiet The Mind, I Come With Knives is the third output of IAMX‘s upcoming album The Unified Field (out March 22).
I have waited for this song and video as IAMX announced their new album. THIS is Chris and his magical art, full of intense emotions, seductive noise and exploding energy! Thanks to IAMX!! I'm chilling to these next days to hear whole new fucking good album :))
Driving Mope-Rock could be one way to describe their sound, Grave-Wave
might be another. Regardless of the sonic hemispheres, the paradoxes
that exist in the Los Angeles based quartet Ballerina Black are
startling. Singer-songwriter Moynahan seems to be incapable of answering
band and music related inquiries without delivering a hyper-metaphoric,
stream of conscious response.. that’s ironically focused and congruent.
This is ever-present lyrically as well. “Tears and fury are not that
distant of relatives,.. and sometimes funerals are fun to dance at”.
Joined by bassist Sugich in 2007, a telepathy was forged; completing
their first full length (Cattle Arithmetic) in 2010 and opening for the
likes of Silversun Pickups and Interpol at LA Greek Theater. The two
embelished on their uniqueness with drummer Anthos and extra guitars and
keys provided by Eton, after which, releasing the first of a series of
EPs in late 2012 under the division titled Injureless. “Maybe if Nirvana
had decided to do covers of the Cure?,.. might come close to hitting
some planet of reference in the Black universe surrounding these guys
sound”. What is apparent though, is the refreshingly austere catchy-ness
of Ballerina Blacks message. But the biggest mystery still remains… how
long is it going to take the rest of the world to start freaking out
about this band?!
“Elegantly juxtaposing melancholy, with beauty and euphoria; a kind of
melan-phoria if you will. Dance with all the desire of a first time
pill-popper while fat tears of grief roll down your face.” -Repeat
