11-12-03 - The boys
from Starvingman have brought us something fresh and new for 2004.
It
has been sometime since their last studio sourjourn. That slab being the
raw Hotel Mariana with its songs of reflection on life, love, lust,
relationships, alienation and nuclear devastation.
Utah 2 presents the listener with a
preview of things to come, but at the same time... closure to a period in
the bands career.
From the opening riff of "My Good Omen" to the
atmospheric "Discarded Soul" to the rework of the live favourite "We Is",
Starvingman show that they are truly an original and gifted 4 piece.
The other 2 tracks are 'Locum' and "I'm Laughing"
which sound like outtakes from their Fast album. This is partly true as
these tracks were written around that time just after the Fast album was
completed.
Early 2004 sees the band start a new full length
studio album. The results of this are to be determined. There are hints of
a more hardier hitting sound, but also further atmospheres and
experimentation with soundscapes and exotic instrumentation. Stay tuned,
but in the meantime enjoy the flava....... You Tar Too!!!!!!!
