Sophistication in Mother Tongue 2

Catacombz’ simple expression

Madeline Hughes Special to the Post [email protected]

Veteran local band Catacombz has recently issued a new album entitled Mother Tongue 2. The group, now on their sixth album release from Organalog Records, has a firm handle on their funky style laced with pop and psychedelic influences. The album offers multi-layered landscapes of the mind, a variety of sounds wrapped into clever titles delivered together in a unique package of goodness. Milwaukee is home to a wonderful collection of bands that perhaps don’t receive the kind of attention that they should, or likely would if they were located within a city where the “buzz factor” is more prominent.

The music is suited for a weekend bar crowd, happy to be in party mode with the help of a keyboard, bass guitar, drums, digitally enhanced microphone and synth machine. This particular album’s sound ranges from the lightweight and easy-listening variety (“External Head-Drive”), to the more cryptic style (“Pony’s Paradox”) that can typically be expected from the psychedelic genre. Somehow it all reverts back to a basic, honest aesthetic, an accomplishment of the diligence that only a band releasing its sixth finished product can achieve.

Mother Tongue 2 exhibits a fun, dance-y kind of music to lift you through the doldrums of a work week, or give you easy release from stress at the end of it. Their ambitious ambient sounds successfully incorporate enough rhythm to make the edgy ride enjoyable.
