They Say...
Yume Bitsu's self-titled effort on New Jersey's Ba Da Bing records debuted the band's delicate and charming style of experimental, and largely instrumental, indie rock. The disc starts off with the wallowing and delicate "Team Yume." The song eventually kicks into a higher gear, and the newfound energy translates blissfully to the listener, as all good experimental music should. Adam Forkner's hushed vocals yearn to be heard behind a modest wall of sound on "I Wait for You," followed by "Surface I," which quickly grows out of its initial quietude and evolves into a layered attack on the senses. On "Truth," Forkner's voice again dances over the distortion and atmospheric droning. Not all vocalists are able to sing over such rhythm-free music, but somehow he's able to pull it off. On "Surface II," the simple and modest tones create an elaborate combination of sounds. Throughout the disc and throughout their recording career, Yume Bitsu fought to bring background music into the foreground. They just might have the tools to pull it off. Forkner and Franz Prichard maintain the guitar duties, while keyboardist Alex Bundy plays a major role in adding layers of texture to the songs, and drummer Jason Anderson adds a solid beat to the music. The result is a band that produces carefully deliberate music.
