Bostons 5ive (not to be mistaken with the English boyband, oh no no no) are a psychedelic doomcore band, consisting of only two mighty members Ben Carr and Charlie Harrold.
After seven years of relative anonymity, they are back to grace us again with both their presence and a picture perfect new record, which serves as a frame worthy summation of the band’s past impressions and conceptual progression. Hesperus is to be their new full length release, which will be out March 24 2008 through Tortuga Records.
Produced by Grammy nominee Andrew Schneider (Cave In, Daughters, Scissorfight), these seven tracks will send you silently swaying into a somnambulant state and then abandon you still stirring and stark naked in a roomful of uncomfortable silence. 5ive, longstanding purveyor of the recently popularized metallic twosome, has, with Hesperus, generated a centripetal force to be reckoned with.
The first review to come back from this campaign was 9/10 from NME…
