Loose In The Air
Matador
INDIE
> There is a foreboding sense of everything coming apart at the seams in THE DOUBLE\'s subversive take on pop music.
> Their MATADOR debut, \'Loose in the Air\', is an eerie, paranoid album steeped in a hyperawareness of the impermanence of things. Melody moves through thick layers of noisy, manic guitars and heavily distorted keyboards, and drums fight through a dense fog of melancholy. Tender vocals soar high and low through an atmosphere of chaos it\'s at once unsettling and utterly captivating.
> The men of The Double have quickly attracted a loyal following that craves their brand of sonic experimentation and innovation. Last year\'s \'Palm Fronds\' (Catsup Plate) is a rockpop album in the same way that DAVID LYNCH\'s \'Mulholland Drive\' is a romantic comedy. Still, in addition to charming critics, \'Palm Fronds\' earned the Double a coveted Peel Session, as well as opening slots for INTERPOL and BLONDE REDHEAD in Europe.
> The Double cite influences as diverse as SYD BARRETT, ALICE COLTRANE, THE BEATLES, HORACE ANDY, THE ZOMBIES, SUICIDE, BRIAN ENO, KEITH HUDSON, and the VELVET UNDERGROUND, and though the spirit of these bands is present in The Double\'s music, their sounds are not. \'Loose in the Air\' is a unique work that is beyond comparison. It\'s a mature album as viscerally satisfying as it is intellectually stimulating. It sounds like a premonition a bone ache, before a big storm.
> THE ONION \"One of the most intriguing bands bubbling up downtown, The Double\'s live show trades gauziness for harder and more direct rock, but progminded shifts and waves of weird instrumentation keep things raw and off centre\".
