Leeds based trio Voronoi are releasing their debut album ‘The Last Three Seconds’ on 7 May via Small Pond Recordings!
It is a dynamic, daring album that explores the realms of electronica, jazz experimentation, neo classical and progressive metal. While this might not be an album for everyone, hats off to them for creativity, after all, it’s not every day you can be headbanging to metal one second then be serenaded with classical jazz the next.
‘Interstellar Something’ and lead single ‘Gamma Signals’ set the album off with their pulsating electronic beats and energising riffs capturing Voronoi’s experimental approach perfectly. This is really brought home in the 10-minute genre cocktail that is ‘The Nauseator’ with its growling intro that erupts into a sprightly piano melody, these songs are sure to throw you through a loop. With cosmic rhythms and bold basslines creating a completely immersive experience throughout the album, each track presents something more unexpected than the last.
At a mind-boggling 12 minutes long, ‘The Outsider and The Priest’ is the star of the show. The delicacy of the piano combined with the subtle beat in the background gives you such French restaurant vibes but with a slightly modern twist. As the track progresses it gains momentum and brings everything together in a chaotic mash up of all the daring sounds heard so far before smoothing things down on closing track ‘Home Could Be Lightyears Away’. By no means is this an album for everyone, but you don’t have to be a fan to appreciate the complex and ambitious artistry that has gone in to ‘The Last Three Seconds’.
