God Fires Man A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun
By Mike SOS
NYC quartet God Fires Man play dark, angst-ridden, alternative rock as displayed on their 10-track disc A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun. Backed with a moving modern arena rock sound, accentuated by the combination of instruments and programming, this unit's grandiose arrangements contain sharp guitars woven into gigantic rhythms and an atmospheric feel that maintains the low-lit vibe with an undulating punky, grunge ripple, yielding the major league hooks found on "Happy Unhappy" and "Sermons." From the electronic abrasions of Nine Inch Nails to Filter, to the unfettered artisan slant of Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden, with the expansive nature of Muse in tow, God Fires Man keeps their refined rage well-dressed while casting the ominous shadow of the distinct NYC skyline, with driving tracks like "Braille Graffitti" leading their descent into the night.
