HONEY FOR PETZI


HONEY FOR PETZI
NICHOLSON (2003)

Following the successful and monumental album "Heal All Monsters" released on Gentlemen records in May 2001, nobody can pretend not to have heard of the brilliant and unique post-rock/rock music of the Lausanne-based band HONEY FOR PETZI. They have released 3 albums up to now. 2001 was the year of the "Heal All Monsters" full length recorded by STEVE ALBINI.
Since that album, one of the most original and entertaining albums of our time, the band has been brought to the front of the Swiss indie rock scene and received massive press exposure while gaining a growing and solid fan base.
After the release of "Heal All Monsters", the young trio hasn't taken a break, but instead toured in Switzerland, France and Germany performing their incredibly precise and brilliant shows and then worked hard on some new materials, while recording the original soundtrack for Emanuelle Antille's movie "Angel's Camp".
At last, the "?post-rock?" heroes are back with the marvelous mini album "Nicholson" that contains 8 stunning tracks from their brand new material, recorded in February in Geneva by TVO in four days. Fans of "Heal all Monsters" will be far from disapointed, and everybody is bound to agree that the band's compositions are becoming even more mature and accomplished. This new release still explores unknown musical territories. With their entertaining, intelligent and original instrumental rock music, the band has definitely found a particular and new way to play music that has become impossible to classify among the variety of nowadays' pre-defined actual music.
"Nicholson" is more aggressive sounding, and has efficient angular rock structures, imaginative sound landscapes, hypnotic feelings, autistic atmospheres, static or rocking bass lines all of this supported by heavy precise drum patterns… HONEY FOR PETZI happily destroys all the clichés related to the present day rock scene, thus bringing something fresh, new and innovative.
