Forest Swords - Rattling Cage
Featuring probably one of the best snare sounds of the year, ‘Rattling Cage’ is insanely well put together. Mike Barnes has an ear for when to bring parts of the track to the fore and when to let them sink into the background, and he demonstrates this throughout with darting guitar lines and expertly chopped vocals. Within this genre comparisons are inevitably going to be drawn with ‘Burial’, however it is undoubtable that Forest Swords has successfully found a more individual sound.
