Mark Kermanj, Jared Louche, Dylan Thomas More " Famous Blue Raincoat (suture)" ( Leonard Cohen cover) " In Every Dream Home a Heartache" ( Roxy Music cover) Despite criticizing some song choices as being lackluster, Chris Best of Lollipop Magazine was mostly positive in his review and said "these selections are reinterpretations that are done well enough to not invoke the originals." Track listing Alex Steininger of In Music We Trust called the album a "a powerful, seductive breath of life that will allow you to never look at the originals in the same light again." In writing for Ink 19, critic Matthew Moyer commended Jared Louche for expanding variety in his musical craft while remaining true to his aesthetic. Tom Schulte of AllMusic credits the lounge and jazz influenced material, such as Chemlab's " Suicide Jag" and Frank Sinatra's " Summer Wind", as being the high point of the album. Reception Professional ratings Review scores It contains cover versions of some of Louche's favorite musical acts and influences. Burn Out… is a great album.Covergirl is a cover album and the debut studio album of Jared Louche and The Aliens, released on Septemby Invisible Records. Chemlab are craftsmen forging a harsh musical ware. But if you enjoy that throbbing, teched-out and caustic side of the musical tracks, this is a good fit. If your musical quest is for less extreme fare, Chemlab probably won’t do. One listen to the over-the-phone intro to “Derailer” and it will never leave your memory cells, it’s effectively shocking. No sweet love songs here, at least not pleasant ones. “Elephant Man,” “Suicide Jag,” and “Codeine, Glue and You” are a few examples of titles. What they call “sutures” fill in between some songs for an odd head trip. Computerized order and rock chaos are the base of their potent concoction. With “Fly” slashing the guitar, Fiendish on drums, and Ned Wahl on the bass, the entity of Chemlab is complete.Ĭhemlab are angry and intensely energetic. Like two crazed scientists, they’ve mixed volatile sonic potions well. Jared and Dylan Thomas Moore are the evil geniuses lurking behind Chemlab. So too will Chemlab draw in fans who like all sorts of hard ‘n heavy music. They will have their say and wrench the attention of the fans of the so-called industrial movement with their second full-length release known as, Burn Out At The Hydrogen Bar. If all is as it should be for a band like this, Chemlab will dominate the high-tech dark music of the present and future. Chemlab bridges the gap between the tech-dominated future and fuses with primitive sorts of rhythms and noises. You could dance to it, that is, if you want to whip yourself into some sort of tribal frenzy. Emanations from your stereo that would repel many so-called adults and lambs of the commercial slaughter. Chemlab is future-kill music – a mutated cross-breed of subversive forms of music. Not mere industrial in sound, more than that. A fusion of guitars, synths, electronic drums, bizarre sound effects and unsettling sound bytes. Their music is caustic, throbbing, and has its own special warped melodies.
