Strange Attractor - Mettle

Review by Keith Greer

Mettle, the latest album from Strange Attractor, is a genre-bending masterpiece that showcases the band's versatility and musical prowess. From the opening track, "Electric Shock," which features a pulsating bassline and soaring guitar riffs, to the haunting ballad "Ghosts," the album takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions and sounds.

One standout track is "The Magician," a funky, groove-heavy number that features intricate percussion and a catchy chorus. Another highlight is "Echoes," a dreamy, atmospheric track that showcases the band's ability to create lush, layered soundscapes.

Throughout the album, Strange Attractor's musicianship is on full display, with each member contributing to the overall sound in a unique and compelling way. The production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track given ample space to shine.

Hi Lisette! This answers my question of what you've been up to! Just want to say that I do like this song - I like Strange Attractor in general, and I like the dynamics of slow-motion photography - but this didn't really seem to fit the song - even in juxtaposition. It seems like an ill-match - but probably lots of fun to make! Destruction for it's own sake always leaves a weird taste in my mouth - perhaps if the other half showed her magically reconstituting it all...

Or, of course, if Marie-Claudine herself smashed into a million pieces in slow motion with the string swell at the very end! :)

It's boring..... It's a shame - so much work for nothing - all these falling subjects (been used a thousand time), a women without personality, no emotions, just a weak attempt to be "arty"....horrible.... Music is boring too, but video is even worse...

Definitely a favorite. Does she have a sister who is a little tidier and less likely to fly off the handle? I have to check out this singer. Awesome video and love that retro and faded film look.

that was the worst waste of time I can ever imagine. A crazy woman breaking things and almost killing a fish, how artsy. For those of you who liked this, you are deprived if this was satisfying in any way whatsoever.

About the fish and it's stand-in... Both Evel and Knievel survived and are living in a luxurious and spacious fishtank in Eindhoven(NL) now.

Have fun, Marc.
