I wanted to introduce you to an Estonian band called Talbot. The style can be decribed as psychedelic stoner doom or noise doom. Anyone heard of them? Propably one of the most promising bands in the Estonian underground scene these days.
Here is a description by the band themselves:
The mythical and sacred fire-being phoenix lives a thousand years and
perishes in flames after building a nest. Few are those who know that
the bird leaves behind two eggs ? a white one and a black one. From
the white a new phoenix hatches, but what might emerge from the black,
nobody knows.
Talbot, the duo of Estonian bio-bots from Tallinn is like the black
egg of the phoenix ? a mystical, menacing enigma that, once cracked,
will change the world. Edgy and immediate, the garage-doom-prong of
Talbot pierces the listener's ear and brain like an icicle, puncturing
membranes and forever mutilating objective reality. Talbot's music is
like a hidden image that, once seen, cannot be unseen.
Members:
Magnus Andre - bass, keys, vocals, engineering
Jarmo Nuutre - drums, growls, web, design
