Rasputina Frustration Plantation ‘Frustration Plantation’ is very strange and sounds like the Fiery Furnaces. This isn’t a good thing. First song, ‘Doomsday Averted’ had me despairing with its mess of half tunes and droning vocals that’s not really a proper song. It does get a bit better than that though with the next track as ‘Secret Message’ is Bjork-like with its twisting, eerie melodies and trailing vocals. It’s not all floaty and ethereal however, there are some harder tunes on it such as the dirty electronica of ‘Possum of the Grotto’ and the spikiness of ‘High on Life.’ |
