HTRK - Work (Work, Work) download mp3 flac

The cool iciness and German spoken-word sample of "Ice Eyes Eis" that starts off HTRK's WORK (WORK, WORK) gives an idea of where the album will take the listener, and the art-rock drone of "Slo Glo" only reinforces this. A languorous melancholy hangs over the tracks here, and it lets the tracks drifts from one to the other, without much distinction between the individual songs. The deep bass hits of "Bendin'," for instance, aren't too different from the dirge percussion and guitar of "Synthetik." Though they excel at crafting a mood, the mood stays too consistent and it doesn't give the album as a whole dynamic or emotional range. "Work That Body," for instance, does not get one to actually work one's body. But still, the dark beauty of "Love Triangle" is enough to cement that they're quite adept at their particular genre, and even as "Body Double" incrementally ups the tempo, the darkness remain omnipresent.
