Here's Your Ears
Recorded in four days in January 2011 at Studio eleven63 in Nicosia, 'Here's Your Ears' reveals Isaac's Cello in a dynamic way. With two improvised pieces and six sweeping compositions that move into the realm of psychedelic rock and alternative metal, Zeyn Mroueh (vocals, guitars, bass), Jacob Papageorgiou (guitars, bass, stylophone) and Liam Iacovou (drums), manage to combine loud with melodic and achieve a very well-structured sum of songs. Additional musicians on the record are Dimi Kolovopoulos on alto sax, Andreas Trachonitis on percussion and Lefteris Moumtzis on keys. Moumtzis and Trachonitis are also responsible for the production.
The band's intentions unfold from the very first tune of the album (Hands) which effortlessly places the listener in a rhythmic mood. Then comes the explosive Catching A Rhino and the magnificent Stone Of Dysfunction in which we hear the versatile influences of the group (Hendrix, Zeppelin, The Mars Volta, Radiohead and others). Kalila Wa Dimna could be the instrumental theme of an epic mythological story, while Strange Delight and Here's Your Ears leave the listener fulfilled. Overall, Isaac’s Cello, are giving us an exciting debut.
