NUITO Unutella music review by Horizons

The Obscure Gem

Nuito emerge as a myriad of talent, outlining their sound with aggression, fineness, and collages of melodies. Unutella is an album that will blow you away from the start. Diversity, prowess, individuality, and taste will all be found here and create an experience that will not disappoint for any Math-Rock fan.

Like any great Math-Rock band should, these musicians are bless with flawless timing and are sonic architects. While the band is as tight as any human could ever be, they still develop moment where they become loose and impulsive. The music is vibrant and often dense, while never overwhelming you entirely.

Intrkctn: Beginning with a piece that explores the mind of Nuito. Here we have a song that sounds frail and weak, but momentarily releases built-up tension with blurbs of comprehension. Staggering and really fun to listen to.

NeKoMaJiN vs: Swiftly the next track puts it's foot in the door. You're given fierce Math executions that will cause the world to implode around you. Tapping and looping outline the song, bass gives fathomless depth to the song while still indulging in itself, leaving electrified drums mapping out the rest. The band punctuates with barrages of notes only taking few, short breathers during the song. Nekomajin proves that Math can be exciting.

Tongpoo: Tongpoo is one of my favorite songs off the album because it breathes and thrives the entire time. The song has a restrained nature, almost caged. The power of the band fluxes throughout and every so often you have times that release the potential that has been collecting in the past, never breaking out still. The guitars paint a misty, secluded hill in my mind. Due to the tone and aura that is created. Drums stick to the pocket but are the driving force the respiration i mentioned before. Beautiful.

looo(no)reque protocol: We return to the sound of Nekomajin. Similar in structure, but a whole new piece of work. Drums are as melodic and remain sporadic, while the guitarist seems to have drained his maneuvers. Eventually exhibiting a wonderfully sci-fi persona.

????????: Building into a standard Math-Rock style, Nuito eventually stops the scattered tapping and immerses you in a stream-like environment. Flushing you in a current or leaving you hovering in the open water. This passage is brilliantly dynamic. Afterwards the chaos begins again. The song accelerates, or so it seems. The ending reminds me of a heavy Animals as Leaders segment.

Hinemos: The remnants of songs before recollect to make a mostly transitional song. Consistent and firm, here you have a submissive drum groove with the guitars filling up the space well.

?: Possibly the heaviest song here, the restless band comes to put an exclamation point on their dynamite sentence. It starts off with, and is dominated by a rattled guitar and my favorite drum work on Unutella. Emotive and reactive, it mimics all moods invoked by the others and complements them. The bass seems to be trying to sooth the remaining duo with these graceful lines that calmly echo through the noise.

Unutella would be a Math-Rock album i would suggest to anyone considering the genre or to anyone who likes a little kick to their instrumental music. This band, though sadly elusive, opened my eyes to Asian, specifically Japanese, music. I hope this album gets under your skin as much as it did to mine. For now 4 stars, though it could easily become a 5 stars in the near future, so.. 4.5 stars rounded down.
