\"\"<\/a>One thing is certain about Greenthief\u2019s latest EP, Retribution and that is that it\u2019s certainly unique and diverse in every regard.\u00a0 From the, progressive, psychedelic and experimental musical overtones, right through to the CD booklet featuring a story about two little pigs..or is it a story about two little pigs?\u00a0 On this their second EP, the Brisbane, Australia based trio, over five songs, take listeners on a wide ranging musical journey and that might very well be in the space of just one song!\u00a0 If you are into anything remotely such as the likes of Muse to Regurgitator to The Mars Volta to The Smashing Pumpkins to Pink Floyd to Jeff Buckley to Radiohead and everything in between, then Retribution <\/em>is well worth checking out. \u00a0The trio recorded the EP with British producer Steve James (Sex Pistols, The Jam) and they certainly know their way around their instruments with some excellent musicianship, no better evidenced than throughout the 8.41minute closing track Mayan Dawn<\/em>.\u00a0 The style of rock delivered by Greenthief isn\u2019t exactly a highly accessible one, it may take a good 4 or 5 listens to really appreciate what\u2019s going on here, but for all there is to take in, the songs are delivered with a certain sparseness and space, as opposed to a state of chaos and confusion.\u00a0 As an independent release and having already attracted attention via Triple J Unearthed and the Queensland Music Awards, I can certainly anticipate this EP generating a high level of label and listener interest.\u00a0 Without doubt a band that I think we shall be hearing a lot more of in 2012\u2026.<\/p>\n
