Dazerdoreal | Hard Disc To Hell

CD, Noisolution/Konkurrent

Tekst: Ariën Rasmijn

Publicatiedatum: 31 augustus 2000

According to the bio, Dazerdoreal frontman Aydo Abay breaks the hearts of a thousand girls as the lead singer for his other band Blackmail. Not hard to imagine since he does sound like a somewhat less dramatic Brian Molko, and his lame, pubescent lyrics do evoke the image of the unfixably depressed, dark young artiste chicks have been going for since the beginning of time. No problem selling records and getting exposure then, I suppose. Now what about the music? Well, to put it bluntly, it's tiring. Built on dated electronica-pop (the kind even Garbage won't do anymore), this record makes it seem as if they've just escaped some timetrap, that they somehow hadn't been in contact with the fast changes in those scenes for the past five or so years. If the songs were any good (think of Arab Strap's 'Cherubs') it wouldn't really matter, but they're not. I gave up hope up until the final two tracks, the languid, balanced, somewhat more sparse 'Apocalyptic Happiness' and the Kranky-ish instrumental avant-garde closer 'Wirehead' which finally does create some interest at this address, testing the hardware to its full potential. But then again it was way too little, way too late.
