HELLA COMET

Hella Comet are clearly abandoning the lengthy shoegaze and post rock format and seem to be focusing on a new found freedom: the ability to revert to a shorter, more basic song structure. Having said that, none of the band members really appreciate the word “song” being thrown around all that much. But the band’s credo for the entire origination process for this album has been to disregard expectation – most importantly their own. Resting somewhere between sensuality and spirituality, song-oriented expression and sonic experimentation as an experience, Hella Comet delve into auditory stimulation and the abstraction thereof. All the while maintaining their highly untheoretical approach as most of their songs are very much work-in-progress creations. Pieces of music are diligently rehearsed, researched and explored, leaving the end result up to entropy. Random sections are deconstructed and moody passages are expanded upon.
