Ingest ≈ Digest is Koala Bar’s Album
Good Day Noir Family,
I already reviewed Koala Bar in the past but they are back now with an album and I want to share my opinion about it.
Ingest ≈ Digest is Koala Bar’s Album
The sound of this band had already struck me the first time I heard them.
Their music is magical and atmospheric and when you press the play button the room seems to fill up with colorful orbs that make you dream.
All songs on this album follow a coherent thread and make the artistic vision of this band clear.
I recommend listening to this album more than once to appreciate all the refined nuances. Ingest ≈ Digest is to be savored in small sips as if you were drinking a glass of aged whiskey.
It is evident that Koala Bar have spent a lot of time in the rehearsal room to take care of every little detail and to achieve this enviable musical alchemy between them.
This band is on a mission and I think it won’t be long before they will get noticed by the masses around the world.
Ingest ≈ Digest is Koala Bar’s Album Out Now!
Superb!
Ingest ≈ Digest is Koala Bar’s Album
“Ingest ≈ Digest” is a versatile project with a reminiscent sound of artists like Angus & Julia Stone, Fleet Foxes, and Phoebe Bridgers.
The album’s initial concept, described by band members as “some feeling of alienation and (. . .) of not really fitting into this strange world of ours”, later gained a more positive perspective, “As much as it’s an album about doubt and inadequacy it’s also about the solidarity and hope that unites us”.
“A lot of the songs are actually quite hopeful and encouraging (although they initially might seem darker)”, the band members add. A positive outlook also described as “‘ingesting’ and ‘digesting’ everything that life throws at you”.
With the assistance of producer Petter Lithvall, “Ingest ≈ Digest” was recorded between September 2021 and July 2022 in the Stigbergsstudion in Gothenburg, it is Koala Bar’s first album as a quartet.
Starting as a duo in 2015, Koala Bar gained recognition after being nominated in music magazine Gaa’s Best New Artist category with their 2018 debut album “Di Sorte”. In 2020, they released their second full-length album “Ethos Pathos Locos”. Koala Bar signed with Gothenburg-based Rexius Records in June 2022.
