Single Review: Howling Bells – Into The Chaos (Independiente)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 17 November 2008
It’s very hard to hear ‘Into The Chaos, which is the first release taken from Howling Bells’ second LP, without your mind concocting a barrage of memories of likewise female fronted pop bands. The most obvious comparison to draw is Garbage vocalist and recent Terminator-the-TV-show star Shirley Manson. There’s nothing wrong with this, but ultimately the ground explored here will be nothing new to most listeners. Also, while Juanita Stein’s breathy voice is infectious and the lead guitar is haunting, the track seems to build towards a dramatic climax that just doesn’t appear. Instead, the end of the track sort of drifts off and leaves the listener feeling slightly cheated. However, the single does serve as a half decent promise of good things to come from the aforementioned new LP, which is due for release in February. GM
