Austrian band Pontis brings a distinctly European sensibility to their rock sound on Danger Is At Hand. Released in 1998 on Vienna's own Gash Records, this is the work of musicians grounded in their local scene yet looking outward. The band constructs their rock foundation with careful attention to dynamics and texture, avoiding obvious moves in favour of subtler shifts in mood and intensity. There's an almost post-rock consciousness here, though the record predates that term's widespread use. Danger Is At Hand sounds like a band secure in their vision, neither chasing trends nor ignoring the wider landscape. For collectors of European alternative rock from the nineties, this is a genuine find from the Viennese underground.
