Xanthan - Succubus Swing - New Release Review
I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Succubus Swing , by Xanthan and it's a experimental rock band with many threads of influence. Opening with (Hey You) Hybyc , Xanthan shows heavy musical overtones with power guitar work by Max Miller and precise drum riffs by Boz Miller with Corin Gatwood on bass and vocal. I like the progressive nature of the guitar lead on Colliskeions 23 . With it's Fripp like construction and rock like attack, this may be my favorite track on the release. Wrapping the release is In Killeen with a driving drum rhythm, riding guitar stream and a guitar rhythm that really works well with the thumping bass work of Gatwood. This track mixes darkness with brightness making it's own way. A cool closer.
