A female fronted post-punk trio (Saskia van der Giessen - vocals, guitar, violin, viola/ Arne Wolfswinkel - guitar, bass, keys/ Bas Snabilie - drums) hailing from a place already known for its eclectic music scene (Amsterdam), Labasheeda is nothing short of a piercing audio experience. Their latest LP, "Changing Lights" can easily confuse you with its unruly experimentation with guitar, bass, drums and unnerving vocal tones. But once you refrain yourself from hitting the stop button and become curious about how this album might eventually unfold, you're in for the kind of musical feast that is more instinctual that you would care to admit. Openly engaging with your grungier senses and not with your intellectual understanding, songs as "Spiral Song", "My Instincts", "Wasteland" or "Into the Wide" make you wonder what will come next as everything on this album seems to be keen on fueling your expectations as a listener. Juxtaposing an angry violin at the least expected moments, "Changing Lights" by Labasheeda delivers the kind of sharp and cool tonalities that are everything but the perfect match for a rigid audience meaning that you will find yourself nodding, moving your feet spasmodically in virtually no time and striving to keep up with the lyrics sometime in between. Because yes, there are also some great lyrics on this album. Apart from digital download and the band's profile on bandcamp.com, "Changing Lights" is also available on transparent blue vinyl with cover design by Arne Wolfswinkel.
