about

" På fullängdsdebuten »Through A Century« definierar Bolywool samtliga ovanstående ögonblick. Låt »Through A Century« leda dig och du svävar bort; in i dig själv, ut i solsystemen. Kalla den kaxig och du missar målet, kalla den självsäker och du har rätt – »Through A Century« vet exakt hur utsökt dess soniska stjärnglans är, med vidöppna armar hälsar den dig välkommen. Och med samtidigt blödande hjärta förvaltar den arvet, tar det vidare. Försök att ignorera något sådant… omöjligt.
Nu är det ju dock en gång så att efter uppgång följer ofta fall: Syd Barrett gick i exil och dog som eremit, Oasis splittrades och Jason Pierce har kämpat mot privata demoner i åratal. Vad vi lär oss av det är väl något i stil med »ät, drick och var glad ty i morgon skola jorden gå under«, en inte helt nöjsam läxa.
Kommer då Bolywool att vandra i dessa utstakade fotspår, kommer deras skinande 2009 framöver förvandlas till misär?
Aldrig.
Var säker att »Through A Century« – sensationell som den är – innebär ett av de första stegen på Bolywools långa och synnerligen fruktsamma gärning.
Ty de har förmågan att kröka tiden och rummet. Ställ dem på en scen, låt deras skivor sväva ur högtalarna; verkligheten flyr, lämnar plats åt allsköns fantasier.
Nu blir då, då blir nu, i evighet." JJ

"We’ve been digging ferociously into this instant yet timeless masterpiece" Gogoyoko
