"Justine" by 120 Days

















120 Days were one of the biggest rock revelations of 2006. Whoever thought that an epic, spacey kraut-rock band from Norway could, um, rock? I certainly didn't, but it sure was a blast being proven wrong. Well, 120 Days are back with a new EP, Sedated Times, and they rock now more than ever. "Justine" is no nine minute drone work-out, rather it packs all its punches in a neat and tidy two-and-a-half minutes. There are still hints of kraut-rock and space-rock, in this punk rave-up, but they're accessories to the sound, and not the focal point.

I like nine minute drone work-outs. 120 Days is my favorite 2006 discovery.

The Sedated Times EP is not a new one. It's a compilation of their 2 EP's ("Sedated Times EP" and "The Beautiful People EP") done in 2004, only released in norway.
