Kalle Kalima & K-18: Out To Lynch
By Track review of "Eraserhead"In 1977, Lynch released the off-center horror film Eraserhead, which over time became a cult classic. Here, Kalima's arrangement features edgy sax lines, flickering accordion parts and a loosely based Latin groove that morphs into a state of mystical debauchery. With odd contrasts ruling the roost, various sounds, textures and hues parlay Lynch's surrealist tendencies. However, they spin a low-key vibe during the bridge, sparked by Mikko Innanen's whispery alto sax lines against the guitarist's closed-handed plucking techniques, while turning up the heat via a surging theme-building spree. Kalima is effective at conjuring the subversive elements of Lynch's cinematic stylizations. Perhaps a major component of the underlying message is that weirdness is goodness.
