Ahh, Antwerp! It’s long been the home of audacious and adventurous music. I remember fondly all of the strange spin-off bands and projects that orbited dEUS, and while Katakan doesn’t exactly fit into that avant-garde-jazz-rock-dance world, it is undoubtedly music made in the same spirit.
Alt-rock? Stoner-rock? Psychedelic-infused rock?” Perhaps we should call it rock and leave it at that; Heart of Stone is a coiled and confident slice of cavernous and trippy music, walls of sound that perfectly mix muscle and melody. If singles are there to tease the audience and test the water for later, longer-form releases, then this one does its job perfectly. Gimme more!
