I was always curious about how it would be if Black Keys met with the stoner sound and what would be the result of it. Well, Sinoptik came as a surprise into my life to help me find out what it would be like and, damn, I was really happy from what I heard!
Those crazy guys from Kiev, Ukraine come with a truly promising debut album called 16/58, released later the previous year. The album moves around what I said above, a Black Keys sound mixed with stoner and psychedelic/spacey one, making it sweet for the ears and giving you what you would like to hear from a modern band following the old ways of rock!
The songs are full of a variety of sweet and "dancy" tunes, which makes, me at least, want to dance and the other moment to bang my head around or do both at the same time! The lyrics are about loooove (not cheesy though, that's good) and running away from daily life, making a perfect match with the sound the band carries. "Bullet's Taste" and "16/58" are a sure repeat on your player, as by the moment you listen to them, you're going to love them. What's more to find in that album except its beauty, is a cover to Black Keys' "Gold on the Ceiling", giving us an idea from where the guys were inspired, even though it was already obvious for the Black Keys lovers! A nice cover though, truth be told.
Coming to a conclusion, catchy tunes, sweet voice, beautiful groove and the great feeling of psychedelia is what this album and the guys from Kiev have to offer to you and you should be grateful about it, cause I'll be damned if I say that 16/58 is not a good album! Make sure to check it out and support them if you like them! I'm completely sure that this is only the beginning, and if this isn't a good start, then...I don't know anymore!
