We’re all about easy listening here at Stereoboard and so we are proud to recommend to you the self-titled debut album by Altaar. A work of not insignificant quality, and also quantity. Although there are just two songs you will be hard pressed to find something quite so deep in all of 2013. Seriously, this is weighty stuff. You’ll be crying your eyes out more than that time James Blunt’s 'You’re Beautiful' stole your heart with its sincere bed-wetter refrains.
We all know that proper pop music needs no such gimmicks. Instead of hooks and falsettos, Altaar have provided you with spooky synths and sludge riffs and, by the time 'Dei Absolutte Krav Og Den Absolutte Nåde' kicks in, a healthy dose of throat clearing, soul breaking black metal rasps.
This is what you need after a hard day at work. Who wants whatever is on the radio when you can bathe in the sonic bubble bath that Altaar have provided here? Then again, there are also enough football terrace choruses that you will soon be filing it next to that amazing third The Enemy record on your shelves, and enough cool dubstep bits to make Korn sound like they didn’t invent the thing after all.
Recommended for fans of Celine Dion, Jake Bugg and Papa Roach. Go on, buy it. I dare you.
'Altaar' is out now via Indie Recordings.
