The Hors d'Oeuvres - Yeast

Reviewing The Hors d'Oeuvres demo from last year in LowCut #44 I wrote that is was a demo forewarning a great record that I really looked forward to. Well, now it’s here – and it’s damn brilliant! For those ignorants not aware, The Hors d'Oeuvres is probably the best fucking desert/stoner band in Denmark. And this release only adds to my fave for these guys. Absolutely best thing about this new album is the heavy psychedelic vibe all over trying to melt your speakers as it floats out into the room and warms your soul. The song structure is as usual complex in the most simple and accessible way and makes me once again wonder if front man Lasse actually fell in the pot of magic tea as a child? No matter what, he’s backed by a damn tight rhythm section made up by bassist Steffen and drummer Kurt. Adding to the psyche-fun is also Justin Schoening doing space-guitar and freaky organ and Lars Trier playing clarinet on the title track “Yeast”. I love the shift in a more psyched out direction without loosing the heaviness and if I’m not wrong there are even strong elements of Sgt. Pepper on closing song “The Leak”?
