The honest, brutal aggression, the catharsis, the technical capabilities, the chemistry of a band to meld a vast array of sounds into a singular, tight unit, Svalbard does it all and does it well.

Now in hindsight the many years of recommendations for this band make sense, as they encompass all things I love about extreme music. From there I went back to their first few EP's, and while they are vastly different from where the band would end up, are still incredibly solid efforts with a sound that is absolutely up my alley. I actually started with When I Die, Will I Get Better? as I recall seeing a ton of praise for that record last year, and absolutely fell in love with it. That has most definitely changed recently, and it's been a disservice to myself that I did not listen to this band sooner, as they check all the boxes of what I'm looking for in a sound-bending hardcore/metal band. They are a name I've seen pop up for ages, and for no good reason always put off checking them out. Right from the get-go, I'll admit that I have slept on this band for far, far too long. The functional cover art of Comedown Machine suggests some kind of mixtape the Strokes made for themselves, 11 songs that turn out like 11 different genre experiments viewed through the unmistakable prism of their inhuman rhythmic precision and pinched EQ’ing.Svalbard are a four-piece post-hardcore/post-metal band from Bristol, England that began in 2011. That goes a long way towards making Comedown Machine more immediately appealing than their last two records the Strokes sound like they’re genuinely trying here. This flipping of the script can actually be seen as a canny move, recasting the Strokes as lovable underdogs: where they once defined effortless cool, the deeply uncool Comedown Machine smacks of effort. Everything since has taken cues from styles more associated with parents’ basements, musty vinyl shops, and convention centers: dinky synth-pop, surf rock, prog and the weird science of countless 1980s New Wave bands. They got one classic album and another great one exhausting a sound that evoked decades of New York squalor chic through indestructible songs and contradictory images: garages where Orange amps are parked next to Benzes, a trust-funder’s highrise apartment lousy with beer cans and leather jackets, dive bars frequented by models and rock stars. This isn’t so much of a revelation as it the culmination of what’s been happening ever since First Impressions of Earth. When these hip, eclectic New Yorkers released their debut album, Is This It, at the turn of the century, it helped turn rock 'n' roll back on its fast, edgy feet.Ĭomedown Machine accomplishes in 38 minutes what nearly a decade and a half of backlash and schadenfreude could not: make the Strokes look like total nerds.
