Kashmir - No Balance Palace (Hol) [CD]

'Kashmir' is a Danish band, seriously hyped in Denmark. They get good reviews, and most Danish music lovers count Kashmir as being one of their favorite bands, and everyone knows their music. They play alternative rock in the style of Radiohead, but with a distinctive sound, mainly due to Kasper Eistrup's vocals. The album was seriously anticipated. Tony Visconti (producer of David Bowie and T. Rex, among others) was the producer. David Bowie is featured on the track "The Cynic" and Lou Reed is also on this CD with a poem on the track "Black Building". Their previous album "Zitilites" was great; the best of their career up to this point, and expectations were sky-high. The album is darker-sounding than most of their other recordings. This might be their most serious and introspective album so far. It makes up for it by being more ambitious and experimental.
