Super Ready / Fragmente
Ipecac
B+
The Young Gods just might be a band you haven’t noticed influencing some of your favorite bands because they began doing so before you could crawl or chew solid food.

 It’s been a long road for these Swedes whose acclaim most often comes from the American Aggro-Industrial elite or solo artists who required inspiration for their beat heavy sampled leanings. But time is of no essence for those that are deities, a confident divinity knows only patience, and from it only good things will be conceived like the new album Super Ready/Fragmente. This trio’s omnipotence is unmistakable in the range of Alain Monod’s precisely sampled collages of instrumentation; with it he deftly compliments the diligent drums of Bernard Trontin into perpetuating driving melodies and alleviating drifts. Electric guitars solo into soaring prog-rock ascensions while trained on obedient surges and grinds of palatable ambience, a vision of heterogeneous assemblage not possible for undertaking by an instrumental band. In the soundscape’s of Super Ready the Gods are free to act accordingly, but just what is an ethereal offering like this without a voice for the Gods? The answer is nothing like the delivery of Franz Treichler, whose magnate crooning finesses the ear with soothing foreign vernacular. While in English his inflection echoes and reverbs decorously, his lurid delving into French or German is sure to inspire the removing of feminine garments of any culture. Sweeping, danceable, and pleasingly edgy, the time is now for you to become part of the Gods fresh new stable of converts.
