Sounds LikeTUNBRIDGE WELLS FORUM REVIEW If you want rock 'n' roll you'll be sold short as it's too dreamy and subtly menacing for that, but if you want a band to lose yourself in, entering a swirling maelstrom of pulsating gritty keys, psychedelic trippy guitars, and vox with a soulful spiritual twang, then Contra will be so far up your alley they'll blend in with the brickwork. Fresh from recording their forthcoming EP, Contra have refined their art beyond just sounding like The Boxer Rebellion into something more obviously theirs. Like Radiohead, they take a relatively straightforward repetitive melody, then twist it, bend it, sculpt and build upon it, perverting it's possibilities and turning it into something extraordinary. Their music ebbs and flows like the moonlight tide, daring to morph into anything from the processed beats of Kasabian to the languid desolation of Doves or Editors, yet all the while maintaining a sense of masterful wailing melancholy as they glide effortlessly between them all. Misery has rarely sounded so goddamn good.
