The Ribbon Device

Saturation Day


"It’s hard to ignore the Ribbon Device’s allusions to music as art; their latest release, Saturation Day, is a virtual red flag to all practitioners of lazy pop rot that the rest of us deserve something slightly more diverse and a hell of a lot more intellectual. So it was no surprise when attending their album launch at Bar Open that I’d be greeted by all manner of expressionism – crews with laptops intravenously hooked into the sound system, video cameras and a film projector to guide us through our journey.

 

Make no mistake, The Ribbon Device are in no need of gimmicks to make their show fly, with a line-up constructed from some of the finest we have to offer and material carefully crafted over many a year, it’s a weight they’re more than capable of carrying on their own. It may just be a personal observation, but I had to give them kudos for their transition from studio to live arena, fragile and understated it’s quite possible that many of their subtleties could have been lost in the translation – their more delicate percussive work, delivery of harmonies and integration of electronic elements remained beautifully intact."
