(05) DeWolff - DeWolff IV (2012)
The fourth album of DeWolff has simply gotten the title ' IV ' and needs also to have no name where many thought about is too long. The numbers on the new plate say enough already, everything actually. We will undertake the clichés but equal, small boys are great, they are more mature and let an even wider spectrum of hear what we already knew of the rock trio. Anyone who ever saw the band live that they know their stuff but too happy to let big long jams out to thighs. Of course we also heard this back on previous albums. But ' IV ' turns out to be a steel map of the compact numbers Limburg that shows that they can write and in addition can produce a full piece of a spacious 19 minutes.
The dichotomy on the plate let see this well, since the first six number loose-to DeWolff's standard-compact numbers. The second part of the disk represents, divided over seven chapters, ' A Mind Slip '. A long aaneenvolging of numbers that are interwoven into a opgesierde, with strings, rock opera. It seems or the gentlemen have found the ultimate balance in placing the three instruments within each track that is written. The organ of Robin Piso was at the acquaintance of the band a few years ago, of course, the eye-catcher, for both the eye and the ear. Now plays the instrument in some songs the leading role (' Crumling Heart '), but there is also the alternation of a more supportive Extras role (' Northbound ').
' A Mind Slip ' would be so but once if the opus magnum of the band can be considered. As is often goes, the trio also quietly in the piece begins with ' Devil On A Wire ' and ' The Telephone '. The tension is built with ' Black Hole ', and the ' Sixth Dimension via Raga Blues ' at ' The Telephone PT. II ' to an eruption. A break with ' Astral Awareness ' gives the breath once more with ' Vicious Times ' to go and the composition to a final loose. Adding stijkers is clearly a surplus value. The classical strings give the whole a great sound. Where modern bands that also create large and long arrangements, such as Muse, nowadays electronica insertion and use of techniques, not so very late 2012 anno DeWolff seduce with these capabilities. To hear the sound like that is still on ' IV ' sounds like it comes from the base of three.
