Bethany Curve is an intriguing band to be released by the primary noise
oriented Unit Circle Rekkids, in that it contains an inordinate amount of
harmony and depth. An extraordinary amount of passion and emotion is expressed
with little more than a guitar and sequencer, almost enough to confuse Bethany
Curve with a gothic act. The vocal are equally as intense and only serve to
accentuate the already lush soundscapes created by vibrant guitar chords and
imaginative programming. A few of the track border on ambient, albeit lacking
any sophisticated loops to truly deserve that label.
In any event, the most impressive item about this band is the non-conventional
guitar work. I have no idea what series of pedals or delays the guitarist is
using, but it has allowed the stringed instrument to sound more like a keyboard
than anything else. Any band that can take a normally blasphemous instrument in
relation to industrial music and rework it into something inherently opposite
is deserving of my gratitude and respect.
