Another review surfaced. This one's from Drunken Werewolf magazine.
"On Your House" is the debut LP from Antwerp based experimental quintet Pox. It is by all accounts riddled with bitter love songs, told with honest words, and the instrumentation and quivering vocals of Mark Meyers is to be admired. The only possible fault is that the track list is very allusive.
Track 1 is a slow driven track infused with lots of piano and steady drums. The subject - a woman who at one point is compared to a statue of ice - is a venomous stutter of a beast. Meyers practically spits the words out into the album. Track 4 ends so suddenly that it's hard to remember where we are…Track 5 is the most energetic track, with its roaring instruments and clever lyrics, including the line "I don't need somebody like you/I can psychoanalyse myself too" which is a bit too good, no? Elsewhere there are haunting, beastly mishmash's of organs, tambourines, guitars and of course Meyers's distinct vocals. It all steadily grows then dies down again before coming back for more and fading away completely. Opening with a single, Lo-fi style cough, Track 9 stands out as a pretty little thing laced with stripped back guitars. Even if the content is morbid and depressive, mainly revolving around how it is "morning and she's gone…" Typical to (perhaps too) many experimental albums, the album closer clocks in at nearly seven minutes, and is mostly instrumental, all swirling sounds and culminating in an immense clash of instruments.
If you want to feel better after a break up this is the record for you, just think "at least I don't have it as bad as this guy" and take a swig from that huge glass of wine you've got glued to your hand. It really is perfect for such an activity.
