Der VentilatorFrom: Barcelona, Spain
Pretty girls, pretty boys have you ever heard your mommy shout 'Noise annoys'? Spanish shoegazing noiseniks Der Ventilator probably have. In fact it's probably their mothers who have been doing all the shouting just to be heard over the racket.
Supernova, with it's warped, twisted vocal, incomprehensible lyrics and ear bleeding tidal wave of noise, sounds like the entire back catalogue of Ride scrunched up into a ball and thrown at your headphones. It's enough to give you tinnitus. 'The Nights Before' sounds like a music box being sawn in two and ends with a screech of pain. 'Smash Your Head On The Ground' starts off sounding like a Game Boy being fed into a mincer before morphing into The Jesus & Mary Chain with any pretense at melody sucked out. It's not for the faint hearted.
Pretty girls, pretty boys if noise is your thing and your eardrums can withstand a pounding then check out Der Ventilator.
