Hey Colossus
are one of Europe's great live bands. Since 2003 the six-piece has been driving around the continent with their "pirate ship" backline of broken amps and triple-guitar drang, elevating audiences in every type of venue imaginable; a doctor's waiting room in Salford, an industrial unit in Liege, and a vast field next to a river in Portugal.
Four Bibles
is their twelfth studio album and the first to be released by London label Alter. Recorded by
Ben Turner
at Space Wolf Studios in Somerset, it's their most direct album yet and follows a well-documented trajectory of evolution that began (in the truest sense) with 2011's
RRR
(REPOSE 063LP) for Riot Season and continued across three albums for Rocket Recordings. Lead vocalist
Paul Sykes
sounds more in focus than before, dialing down the effects and using reverb/delay to carry his lyrics rather than smother. The band has also fine-tuned to leave some room for extra depth. Piano, electronics, and violin (by
Daniel O'Sullivan
of
This Is Not This Heat
and
Grumbling Fur
) all find a way in amongst a familiar mesh of interlacing guitars, wrapped round a taut rhythm section. Like every other Hey Colossus record before, the line-up has altered and the sounds reflect this. From the weight of "Memory Gore", to the subtlety and swag of "It's A Low", via the sonic extremes of "Palm Hex/Arndale Chins" this is exactly as the band are live; raging and rail-roading but somehow in control. Grooves for those who want to dance or for those who want to hug a wall and nod... bleak dystopian imagery submerged in relentless rhythms and low-end rattle. The songs breath life and soul -- Hey Colossus have never sounded fresher or more on point.
