Blank Realm, Heatless Ark
Intuition plays a large part in the nature of music. Whether learned on their chosen instrument or approaching it from a new angle, the ability of a group of players to lock into and interweave with each other's sounds is a crucial dynamic. This instinctual nature shines through strongly on Blank Realm's debut vinyl release, Heatless Ark.
That three of the members are siblings may account for the ease with which this Brisbane band shift from soundscape to soundscape. From the druggy jaunt of the title track to the Suicide in slow mo of ‘Blues Helix', you can hear as sounds are tested, bent and prodded until everything suddenly snaps into focus. Tangents appear, tangents are followed, tangents are resolved, and songs are born.
Blank Realm possess that rare talent of appearing to be loose and free whilst actually remaining tight and connected. For this level of awareness to be apparent so early in their career only bodes well for the future.
