Julie Christmas
Ridiculous and Full Of Blood
Metal Hammer が80点相当
メタル系だが
シンプルな感じでなかなか良い。
Like one of those odd, otherworldly flowers that buds so rarely it makes the news when the petals finally begin to uncurl, Julie Christmas returns with a startling new solo album.
She might have made her name fronting a clutch of difficult, dangerous-sounding albums for Made Out Of Babies and Battle Of Mice in the mid-00s, but it’s her later work that has demonstrated the true breadth of her talent: 2010 solo album The Bad Wife and 2016’s scintillating Cult Of Luna collaboration, Mariner.
Even for an artist whose music defies easy categorisation, Ridiculous And Full Of Blood darts down numerous unexpected paths. Versatile, nuanced and multifaceted, it feels like a logical successor to The Bad Wife, despite its wholesale uncanniness. The baroque overtones and jaunty accordion have been replaced with expansive sweeps, plush post-rock and fizzling avant-pop, all of which cohere into a rich, rounded release that is simultaneously approachable and obtuse.
