Killing Bear - Single Review: Centipede
Killing Bear, the
experimental rock / alternative rock / cool music 4 piece band from
the small seaside community of Pukerua Bay is once again thrilling us
with conscious – expanding, mind bending lyrics and sounds
“psychedelic futuristic music from the past from another planet”.
This trippy little number is titled Centipede, which could be a creature “from the future in a post-apocalyptic world”, or it could just be a song about a centipede. Killing bear managed to make me feel at one with the Arthropod, this is a happy tune which brought a kaleidoscope of bright, vivid colours to dance before my eyes and indeed had I applied my flawless dance moves to this song, perhaps I wouldn’t have been able to stop tripping over my own feet either.
It all makes sense when you are a centipede from Mars, I think.
The vocals on this single actually sound a bit like Jim Morrison and with the far out poetic lyrics to back it then perhaps it was, “because we are living in a parallel future to the one in which it happened”. It’s almost hard to describe, you would have to listen to it for yourself, happy, upbeat, and original, incredibly creative and slightly strange, I need to shake the hands of the person who wrote these hallucinatory words. It is sheer freaky brilliance!.
So if the aim of Killing Bear is to encourage you to party hard, then the Centipede song should help you on your way without the need of any mind altering substances.
“Way down the end of the line, attempts to make you into a new design, force the pieces to fit and align, with absent instructions there are too many pieces, I can’t stop tripping over my own feet.”
About Killing Bear
Armed with nothing but drums, synths and amplified guitars the band was then able to transcend the barriers of space-time. With the power of music they travelled back a millennia and stopped a devastating event in our history. This event now never occurred because we are living in a parallel future to the one in which it happened. Now in 2016 the next catastrophic event is just around the corner and we need you to party hard to help stop it from ever happening.
Killing Bear! Psychedelic futuristic music from the past from another planet.
