Rock/Review Electric High - Crooks
Electric High from Bergen, Norway, plays a special blend of alternative rock and hard rock, kind of like if Rival Sons and Royal Blood had crashed the stage at an Aerosmith concert. Fronted by two lead singers, they hit you right in the face with a whole new level of electric energy. The members hail from bands like Sahg, Faith Circus, and Emmerhoff & The Melancholy Babies.
Electric High’s “Crooks” is a sonic dynamo that illustrates one of Norway’s most raw and energetic alternative rock groups. In seconds, you feel this song through the combination of harmonic percussion, step-by-step march, and ghostly vocal hummings. This sets in motion what will turn out to be an unforgettable musical adventure.
It starts with a fascinating and ethereal introduction that makes us curious about the destination of this song. At first, just four acoustic guitar strings and vocals play, followed seconds later by the entire band crashin in with rock 'n' roll energy that is anything but ordinary! Along with it comes the guitar riff, bass line, and drum beat that hit like a sledgehammer, pounding the song all through with no stopping force.
Through the use of the background OOH-OOH vocals, there is additional emotive force contributed to the whole song, making it powerful in terms of the messages delivered by the leading vocalists. The chill-inducing vocals of their performance carry the main message of the song, depicting a constant sensation that some person is hiding around the corner just waiting for a chance to cheat or defraud you.
With ‘Crooks’, Electric High have managed to inject an element of urgency and paranoia into their songs. This song is a pulsating anthem for all those who have ever been weighed down by mistrust and disappointment. The song takes listeners through a range of emotions through its highly emotionally charged musical accompaniment and lyrics, which capture a scenario where there is no room for peace of mind.
It is a rock song that embodies the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll by reflecting the defying and oppositional nature that has come to characterize the genre over the years. The combination of various styles and genres in “Crooks” makes one realize just how good this song is, as it stands out even among other wonderful tracks.
To summarize, “Crooks” by Electric High is an energetic piece of alt-rock. This is indeed a poignant reminder to us that rock music has the potential to unleash primal emotions and society's criticism, provided it’s delivered with skill. Electric High has created an interesting song, which is also a musical statement with a bite. Everyone who loves rock and those who like noisy and powerful sides of music can’t miss this masterpiece.
