#Its all good wild 9 sound full#
During a recording session, Frankie confesses the full nature of his hearing loss to Alfonse. He warns Frankie that unless he stops abusing drugs and listening to loud noises, he will soon be completely deaf, and even the use of his hearing aid would only further degrade his hearing. When the crowd boos him, he throws the turntable and the mixer onto the dance floor, and is forcibly removed from the club.įrankie agrees to see a doctor, who tells him he has lost hearing in one ear and has 20% left in the other. Frankie refuses to acknowledge his problem until a gig in Amnesia, when he cannot hear the second channel in his headphones and must crossfade one song into the next without being able to beatmatch them. At this time, Frankie is making his next album with his "two Austrian mates" Alfonse and Horst, but his hearing degrades rapidly and progress stagnates. After years of playing in night-clubs he loses his hearing, first apparent when he hears a high-pitched whine instead of an Arsenal football match on TV.

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. Across its discography, Highly Suspect’s music is carried by the boldness of its sound, and “The Midnight Demon Club” is no exception.This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. To its benefit, it refuses to compromise. Its appeal is in the feeling of the music, the grandiosity and scope of the performance. “The Midnight Demon Club” succeeds in many of the same ways as Highly Suspect’s previous work. The entire track is drenched in reverb, and the vocals feature a heavy delay which fills the scarce instrumentals while giving the feeling of space. The drums are particularly sparse, with a snare backbeat and understated cymbals. It takes its time, never pushing ahead of the beat. The album closes on a similarly bold note with “Evangeline.” It pairs a leisurely tempo with intense instrumentals to create a heavy sound that serves the tune well. The chorus’ incessant repetition of “shut up, move” shows the narrator’s anger, while the verses reflect more of his melancholy. The intensity of the texture is matched by the lyrics, which furiously long for a past relationship. As incongruous as it may be, however, it doesn’t depart enough from its signature sound to alienate listeners. “Pink Lullabye” showcases a death-metal-esque sound foreign to Highly Suspect’s discography. Immediately following is another deviation, this time in the other direction. This song certainly departs from the typical Highly Suspect formula but demonstrates that they have more in the tank. While the exact meaning isn’t clear, the imagery is striking and the vow to “try it again” represents a deep and unceasing love for this wild-eyed son. He tells him that he loves him and promises to do so again. They tell of infinite roads upon which the narrator meets the titular wild-eyed son. The lyrics of “Wild Eyed Son” are esoteric but in a poignant fashion.
Highly Suspect’s bassist, Rich Meyer, is known to sing occasionally in its live performances and stripped-down sessions, but this is the first appearance of a new vocalist in the band’s studio work. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is “Wild Eyed Son,” which utilizes an acoustic guitar and soft strings in its instrumentals, as well as a different lead vocalist. The hi-hat follows the guitar, playing constant triplets over an intense backbeat and creating a groove that sounds full while leaving room for other timbres. The track features pounding bass and drums with a triplet guitar melody that provides a strong motif to the relatively simple harmonic movement. It’s a bold and unexpected start to the album and provides the track with a sense of urgency right from the beginning.įollowing “The Sound” is arguably the album’s strongest track, “Natural Born Killer.” Released as the debut single, it mimics the beginning of “The Sound,” with a softer introduction before the forceful entrance of the song’s main texture. “The Midnight Demon Club” opens in spectacular fashion with “The Sound.” After a brief period of quiet, the distorted guitars and busy drums crash down upon the listener in an almost-jarring fashion.
