Do You Know How To Waltz Presents...

// ART ROCK MADE IN SEATTLE ///

If musicians painted images with their instruments, The Intelligence’s soundscapes would be set in a grainy, ash-gray world, among piles of scrap metal and busted machinery, with discarded computer parts blinking
in cobwebbed corners and factories belching out toxins at irregular intervals. It’d be a black and white wasteland of humanity, a post-apocalyptic industrial revolution, warmed only by the distant loops of a
delayed, disembodied guitar riff. At the center of it all would be Lars Finberg, delivering deadpan lines like “Going out with you is like going out with a cop.” He’d be pounding bent garbage-can lids with one hand and programming distorted beats on his keyboard with the other, a one-man
laboratory of intoxicating post-punk experimentation.The music is so jagged and cinematically poetic and dusted in clouds of lo-fi noise that listening to it at different times can conjure completely different visions. It’s par for the course for Finberg, who has participated in some of Seattle’s most exciting musical forces such as the A-Frames and The Dipers.
The Intelligence are demanding attention in and beyond the Northwest, creating a new direction in sound based on the fundamental elements of bands like The Fall and PiL, yet beneath the post-punk clang lies a serious pop sensibility.
