Piano and saw percussion team?

The CD is called "Samme Stof Som Stof" and it's one of the coolest CDs to have come out last year. One critic described it as "wearing a fine spike heel on one foot and a combat boot on the other". I think that it fits, despite it's ambiguity. Next time Under Byen comes around to your town you should check them out. They opened for the Album Leaf last year, who I had gone to see, and Under Byen stole the whole show (maybe because an hour and a half of the Album Leaf is... boring?).

It's basically really heavy and dark rock, if you got rid of almost all the guitar and replaced it with multiple drummers, cello, violin, musical saw and piano. I hope that makes sense, because the end result doesn't sound a whole lot like heavy and dark rock at all, except for a couple songs.

It's a unique listen. For fans of mum, Bjork, Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Tim Burton movies.
