Album Review: Casablanca – Miskatonic Graffiti
I like lists. In fact, I love lists. I keep lists for everything. Top 10’s, best of’s, bucket lists and must see’s. On my list of “Euro Must See” bands is one from Sweden called Casablanca.
This entry to my list was acquired from loving their first two CD’s – 2012’s Apocalyptic Youth and 2013’s Riding the Black Swan. So when given the opportunity to review their latest CD Miskatonic Graffiti, I jumped at the chance.
Casablanca consists of Anders Ljung on Vocals, Erik Almstrom on Guitars, Mats Rubarth on Bass, and Josephine Forsman on Drums. Additional artists on guitars include Ryan Roxie and Erik Stenemo.
When I went into this CD I knew I had a couple hills to climb first. I am NOT a fan of concept albums nor am I a fan of overlong songs – both of which reside here. But my mind and ears were wide open.
So here goes:
I have to admit it took a few spins to really get the flow and feel for what I felt was a bit of a turn for Casablanca. It might take a few more spins to put it ahead of Riding the Black Swan but still a solid release. Give it a chance and those choruses’ will be stuck in your head leaving you wanting more. 7.5/10
