Frontmirror by Blind Spot
Musically, Blind Spot circles around clear, catchy themes on "Frontmirror." They modulate, modify, stumble, fall and catch each other again in their musical process. This results in a lively interplay that is further enhanced by the use of modern live electronics. The variety of sounds transforms the simple melodies into multi-layered constructs and gives them multiple dimensions.
In one moment completely tangible and in the next again diffuse-obscure. Blind Spot play quite naturally with contrasts without falling prey to arbitrariness. Just as our blind spots behave.
„Blind Spot are as tight as anything, with smooth interplay befitting even the most well-practised of trios, navigating both the formless ambient passages and gritty psych-rock with ease." Presto Recording of the Week
