“Built To Fail,” a single from this
album, received a fantastic review from myself a
few months ago. Was the entire album to do as well?
Well, almost, yeah.
For those who haven't heard of Veto, it's Danish
indie/electro at its best. (Not that I've heard
it at its worst.) But they're a band who, if you
like anything of a similar genre recently released,
there's a high chance that something in Veto's
repetoire will sound very similar. Not in a bad
way – they've taken a cornucopia of recently
awesomeness and rolled it up into one complete
album. So it's a winner really.
“Built To Fail” is still probably
favourite, although it faces serious competition
from “Digits,” later in the album.
But what does it sound like? Well, I'm afraid
you're going to have to imagine something, yes
that's right, I'm taking you on one of my world
famous hypothetical-audio-experiences.
First things first, Death From Above 1979. They
get a couple more members, straight from The Klaxons.
The drummer is replaced with a drum machine because
his beats are too offensive. The vocals sound
the same but don't tend to go so nuts. It's quite
fast paced, not quite a melodic rap but it's nearly
there at times. Dark choruses and verses full
of synths and guitars, and then suddenly out of
nowhere, the new Klaxons members get involved
and sing some fluttery harmonic interlude. If
you can imagine that, you should be able to work
out whether Veto are the band for you or not.
But I give it two thumbs fresh. Fo sho.
4/5
