Columbian art blog PAN.O.RA.MA published this excellent review on Unexploded (excerpt);

"A new brilliant star rising in the horizon is what emerges when from Denmark - we explore the brightness of such star and we find that UNEXPLODED is such a star. In the shape of Spine, this wave/rock pop act surprise us with an advance of the upcoming album, offering a complete facet of his skills as a musician through 5 compositions from which you can get a clear idea of the upcoming album.

The voice here is incredibly great, and the use of certain atmospheres and percussive elements give you more reasons to be anxious to hear the final album. So just let go to be blinded by the brightness of such an unexploded star shining at the horizon."

Unexploded got mentioned in UK music blog today Losing Today/The Sunday Experience;

"Unexploded - something weird afoot the showcase player found on the unexploded my space page in that two of the tracks - ’Unavoidable’ and ’Bitchslapping A Crocodile’ literally kicked us out and just plain refused to give up their sounds.

This lot hail from Copenhagen, well I say this lot in actual fact its just one person - Spine - who is currently putting the finishing touches to a debut full length platter which is due to break cover any day soon. Prior to that reputations have been growing following appearances on various compilations put out by imprints such as DBA and Stargate as well as a few rogue promos courtesy of Neologic.

The demurring gravitational tug of ’Invert’ is neigh on impossible to resist, a sublime slice of tenderly amorphous panoramic dream pop metered out by looping clock working beats, lunar synth swirls, celestial opines and shimmering riff chimes all seductively harnessed
upon a pulsar like lovelorn liquid landscape set upon the subtle foundations of an acutely pop calibrated kraut dialect, we suspect we need to hear more and soon."

Unexploded got a good review last month at International alternative music site Heathen Harvest;


"Unexploded is the musical outlet of a Dane who calls himself Spine. His first full length album is scheduled for later this year. Unexploded ventures off to a synth rock style, utilizing many layers of music and combining rock and electro to create his own distinct style.

'Unavoidable' is a track about how peoples greed for more and more money will eventually cause another crisis. 'Venom' is a very catchy track, a bit more pop oriented, but it still sounds very well crafted.

Unexploded was a very pleasant surprise, and I hope for Spine that he can get his name out there. I think he'll be able to find a good audience.

This EP was very pleasant, with the strongest two tracks at the start. Looking forward to hearing more from this artist."

Unexploded got a very nice review in this months issue of Belgian music magazine Side-Line;


"This project delivers a pure crossover style mixing different styles like new wave, rock and pop.

The opening cut "Unavoidable" impressed me for the amazing production and stereo effects! Unexploded reveals a mature sound and cool mix of impressive guitar parts and new wave bass lines. Unexploded is hard to classify, but reveals a progressive sound.

The quieter and wafting "Bitchslapping A Crocodile" reveals an amazing amount of little details in the writing. I guess it will be not easy for this project to make its way, but production wise this is a great piece of music!"

Great review at Swedish electro site Synth.nu:

"Unexploded: Promo CDM;

Unexploded is a pleasant acquaintance from our neighboring country Denmark. Unexploded is a one-man project consisting of a gentleman who calls himself Spine. As a teaser for Unexplodeds upcoming album coming next year, the band has released a promo-maxi with four tracks that have already received attention around in the world.

The music can easily be described as a sort of synth rock. The music itself is not overly complicated and feels very awake and alert. On Unexplodeds Myspace page you'll find FSOL, Underworld and Pink Floyd as influences, which makes sense when you hear the music.

The first track is called "Unavoidable" and is a good poisonous song where the refrain firmly etches into the listeners mind. "Invert" is track two and is clearly the strongest track. The song is nice, has suspense and a great pop touch. The other two songs are introvert synth rock that works, but it is "Unavoidable" and "Invert" that creates the balance on the disc. Both are two really strong cards. Spine's voice sounds good on all tracks.

Unexploded has their own identity and are definitely worth discovering. The music is interesting and I am eagerly waiting to hear what Unexploded can do on his upcoming album."

The review (in Swedish) can be found right here: Synth.nu.

Unexploded recieves great review in DE magazine Nightshade

"Unexploded 4-track demo: ...From the studio Spine produces this dense, atmospheric and sometimes psychedelic drifting sound, that efter the 20th time still is seductive and tempting to listen to. A pleasant, and sometimes also slightly bitter feeling, that in the long run ultimately carry the Dane forward on his trip... The song Invert is a delicacy, which really reveals the true multilayeredness of Spine's creativity.

According to release plan the first album of unexploded is due in 2009. We wait with anticipation and excitement."

Unexploded reviewed in US music blog/radio Dark Culture:

"Unexploded is different enough to stand on it's own.
There is no shortage of electronic music. The trick is finding bands that stand out...
When you find a band like Unexploded, you start to think there might be hope after all."

Unexploded was reviewed in the current issue of UK Insomnia Magazine;

Unexploded: Venomlake (promo EP):
"Limited promo release from Copenhagen based darkwave act Unexploded, which is the creative genius of singer/songwriter/producer Spine.
The tracks on offer really showcase Spine's creative studio know how,
and with elements of electro and darkwave this EP gives a great insight into the dark world of the creator."

Unexploded's great show at Nemoland was highlighted as one of the recommended events in the June/July issue of DK Copenhagen nightlife/lifestyle magazine Citadel:

"Unexploded plays atmospheric electro-rock, dominated by epic synths, chanting vocals and condensed layers of grumbling guitars. One easily dreams into their universe, and here and there one is reminded of The Cure, Jean Michel Jarre, Depeche Mode og Finnish cult band This Empty Flow.

When the band is visiting Nemoland it will be an open air event. One could owe them a night concert, as a night black starry sky would be an obvious backdrop for Unexploded's dark edged sci-fi-rock."

Read the original article here (in Danish, online/pdf version).

Other recommended acts were Ice Cube, Ministry, Wu-Tang Clan and The Magnetic Fields...

Unexploded was reviewed in US ezine The Muse's Muse in June:


"Mature and modern, Unexploded's EP hones a slick, alternative dance rock sound that's drenched in the highlights of all things atmospherically seductive.

With a dark and brooding greatness, the bass immediately steps in "Invert" with its driving rhythm to usher in wet synth washes that viciously begin to dominate the aural arena.

Unexploded constructs their own signature sound, resulting in an intoxicating juxtaposition of soft, yet dark, electronic beats that climax into layered vocal bliss.

"Bitchslapping A Crocodile" returns to the same ferocity, wavering wood block undertones slowly churn lightly picked guitar lines and sinister low-end vocals into an uneasy electronic mix, conjuring an ominous Vangelis-inspired creepiness that will work the listener's musical imagination deep into the grey and hazy atmospheres.

"Venom" wreaks damage with its sonic bite, dripping synths and guitar lines begin to quickly surround the listener. As a fitting conclusion to the EP,
it continues on a darker tint with more of a distorted guitar presence that occasionally breaks up the song's overall cold, dreamy and ambient overtones.

Unexploded is a strong musical offering for those who love the combination of rock and synth."

DJ AZ from Germany wrote the following after receiving a promo disc in April:

"Very interesting with an own style. "Unavoidable" took residence in my head. Catchy! "Bitchslapping A Crocodile" is a great dark crawler. Impressive!

The other two tracks are fine tunes too. Unexploded's sound is clear with a powerful bass. Music not for the masses but for connoisseurs! Recommended!

I wish Unexploded the very best for their career, Unexploded deserve attention."

Absence:
I want to apologize for not writing back as much as I would like to. I DO read all messages and comments and they mean a lot. But finishing the recording and mixing of the album, planning a tour and setting up new live elements is taking the most of my time, unfortunately. It has become an overwhelming task to reply to all messages and comments, although I try to reply some of them. Should I forget to reply or something is urgent, just ask/write again and I'll get back to you...



Album:
I'm quite excited by the album, which is really taking on a shape now. Release date is still uncertain and a risk that the release will be postponed to winter/spring 2009 remains. But I'd rather do it right than too early...


/Spine

Awesome gig in the clouds of weed at Nemoland

*presenting both classic Unexploded songs and new material from the forthcoming album...*


The last time we played at Christiania our concert was interrupted by riots and teargas (read other blog post). So we weren't sure what to expect Sunday (the 15th of June) when we returned to Christiania to play an open air concert at venue Nemoland. The booker was present before the show and told me that we shouldn't expect encores and that the Nemoland crowd always was extremely difficult to play for.

However, already during the first song some of the crowd was cheering and moving along. Throughout the first set the crowd got increasingly excited and when we reached the final song of the first set (My Supermassive Black Holes) the crowd was also clapping in tune with the song.

In the second set the crowd was excited and to the tones of the final song of the second set (Floater) some of the people in the crowd were even dancing on tables. Afterwards the audience including the booker wanted an encore, which of course they got (Invert).

Post-show the booker came and talked to me; he was very pleased with the show and told me that clapping was extremely rare at Nemoland and that dancing on the tables never had happened there before.


Yes, it was a fun concert to play...

/Spine

Unexploded recieves great review in the June edition of US magazine Twisted Dreams Magazine:

"Copenhagen's own Unexploded - A danceable mix of great notes to keep you moving. When music comes along that takes me on a trip, it warms my heart. I found this with this great band from Denmark.

From the first song on this cd, Unavoidable, I was hooked, bopping along to this great cd as I listened in my car. Each song is a treat.

I look very much forward to hearing what this band has in store for us for the future. As it is, I'm eagerly waiting. Kick ass great music: 9/10"
