I’m sure it’s just me (it usually is), but I’ve always wondered what the score to the apocalypse would sound like as composed by Jonathan Wolff. It wouldn’t be happy-go-lucky bass slaps and synthesized melodies underneath the laugh track of a live studio audience. (Or maybe it would — gods do have an awfully odd sense of humor). It’s more likely that Bent Spoon Duo have nailed the soundtrack to our future demise. Piercing scratches, bleats, and broken electronics being inserted into the sinkhole meat grinder, turned into sausages of discarded appliances and human remains. The Price of Darkness, however, is not our finale. It’s a bit too playful to be musical fodder for the Four Horsemen. This is grown kids playing with the notion that anything can make music — cloyingly aggressive tones robbed of tonality. Children have their own sense of what melody is, and Bent Spoon Duo siphon it into a rich experience. It’s not an everyday play, but in those moments when it feels like End of Times is upon you, it’ll be there with open arms.
