"I twang and twang like an idiot and nobody pays me for that..."
For such a portion of fantastic music one should get paid tons of money. Briefly speaking, I haven’t heard such a great thing for ages.
Each track is an outstanding, differentiated pearl. Though the tracks vary (which is a great plus I think) we can feel some communist smudge there, some kind of moral "being on the booze" that becomes a trademark of the whole album.
We have the intro which is not an intro. Slow submerging In the Russian spirit, painful experience of every single scratch.
We enter a White Room with no door handles, welcomed by melody that roots in our minds. Listening to this track I keep being impressed by the authors’ talent. The lyrics lead us to a horribly delirious journey through the place we do not want to know.
("...my memories, my hangover...")
I Have Nothing Any More is a great ballade composed with the use of guitars, piano and a nice male voice. Outofsight prove that they’re able to make wonderful pieces using simple means. I guess comparing them to Spiritual Front is quite right.
The next three songs bring the mood of some sort of communist circus. A true merry brisk party and binge... Sausage and vodka, rustic revels, carcass in the shed and in the fields... The project is no doubt able to make intelligent music on the basis of wedding melodies, and, what matters, they don’t play out of tune.
The bonfires start to die away spreading somewhat sad aura. Great lyrics, great melodies... Just as simple as a common man. And this amazing female voice, so delicate.
The outro which is not an outro... A year which is a title.
It’s the best track on the album, listening to "1996" makes my flesh creep. An atmosphere of a ballade, voices which lead us through these dense melodies deserve... Well, I don’t know what they deserve, but they are simply brilliant.
Vodka Like Smoke (the Damned Poets) is an album to be recommended to all passionate fans of guitar and alternative sounds. Here’s where Spiritual Front meets... it’s not easy to say whom, because Outofsight created their own style.
Spiritual Front friended Dom zly (The Evil House) by Wojciech Smarzowski, making it such a tasty, rich mixture that it’s hard to take the CD out of the player.
