Recorded in early 2003 by Steve Albini, Icarus by The Forms is quite simply not like any other album I own (believe me, Mr. Mark and I listened to the whole thing today trying to decide who it reminded us of). It clocks in at 10 tracks, a mere 18:20, and it’s not a punk rock album either. In fact it seems to move at a lumbering pace, with thick bass lines chugging away, it pokes and prods the listener with flourishes of drums and bursts of crunchy guitars. The vocals soar somewhere between a yelp and whale, slightly reverbed, and endlessly expressive. Take a listen and if it reminds you of another band, please feel free to let us know. Also, if you like what you hear, you should definitely buy it off of Amazon for $4, I mean $4 people!
