The Artwork Of EP Review
New Jersey proves itself to be the homebase of even the most hardcore of bands. The Artwork Of, a harcore/punk/mathcore band from Plainsboro, NJ, illustrates the hard-hitting side of this state through its harsh, yet complex compilation of eclectic riffs, beats, and disharmonious “melodies”. Recently, this group of artists released an EP that stayed true to its genre.
Not going to lie, I am not generally a listener attuned to this genus, but after a few run-throughs of the EP’s seven tracks, I was able gain an affinity for the album’s finer points. The vocals aren’t much more than strained screams with the occasional intelligible utterance. There are definitely some good breaks where one or two instruments take center stage and introduce a good melody. The drums are incredibly varied, as well as the other instruments that have harsh starts and stops. All together the production may not be provide the crispest sound, but if anything, that lends itself towards the abrasiveness of the songs. I couldn’t really spot much structure or form during the entirety of the EP, but it seemed as if the lack of form was something that created a structure all its own. All of these instruments that go outside the boundaries of the basics give the music a lot of dimension and gives the listener a lot to pay attention for and concentrate on. The consistent raw, quick-paced beat that is almost necessary to this genre is most definitely on cue in this EP.
Personally, I felt that some songs tended to be a clashing of coarse noises and rhythms –almost like an attempt to combine multiple song ideas in one. Some allowed a standalone feedback noise with vocals, which did create a nice ambience for the rest of the track. However, the unconnected feedback noises also halted the well laid out tempo of certain tracks at unpronounced times, maybe even too often. There is definitely a lot happening to fill in interest, though at times it may come off as overdone.
My favorite song off the EP seems to be “Helicopters”. In that one I song I feel like they have perfectly executed every creative technique that is prevalent within their other tracks. They have successfully reached the type of sound that was being aimed for (not to say they haven’t reached a certain goal sound in their other songs). To put it simply, I feel that “Helicopters” exemplifies the best of The Artwork Of.
Rating: 8/10
