Not unlike the archaic piece of punctuation from which they take their name, Interrobang invites both excitement and intrigue on their second full-length, A Tale of Two Interrobangs.
The instrumental quartet (make click here to read about a house party they threw a few years back) takes cues from prog-rock, video games, gypsy jams, and maybe even a few Meco hits on their 6-song LP, to dizzying and delightful ends.
The gothic acid western saga of “Dogfight” opens the album with blaring trumpets, macabre organ, and a schizoid circus breakdown before giving way to “Five,” a whimsical post-rock number (one recalls the spacious melodies of Tortoise or Tristeza) in 5/4.
“Crack Mode” adds an almost industrial, 8-bit edge to the mathematical quandary followed by “Waltz,” a cinematic three-count that invokes imagery of French girls on bicycles.
“Mystery” takes a turn for the sinister while “Kevin Spacey” closes the album with dazzling, cosmic synths and soaring, Fripp-y guitar leads.
Chk chk chk it out:
Celebrate the wham-wow of Interrobang on Wednesday, July 10 at Tin Can Ale House (1863 5th Avenue – Bankers Hill) where they’ll be hooking up with Kissing Party and Mandarin Dynasty. Five clams.
