A surprise from this English-Bask duo- 2 levels above their first album, Hatch. I put this on the speakers in some friends' roof party- and everybody started asking questions. A lot of percussion doing overtime, raw sounds, fast, floor oriented, with a lot of psychedelic dripping sounds.
It starts with the relaxed groovy introish Balojax, a real nice entrance. Then things get hectic with the spooky entrance of Druidic Endeavours (T2)- a crazy nightmarish driving track with crazy and highly psychedelic percussion and sound games- definitely some crazy ritual is going on here. My favorite here. From here things start going faster. The Forge (T3) is "horse-ride-rhythm" track, these usually make me want to jump around. Some nice spooky sounds, cool percussion, but the track is just not interesting enough. Carrier (T4) is another favorite here, a fast powerful track with a happy driving bounce, toyish sounds, and a totally psychedelic atmosphere. Spiritual Being in Fluoroshirts (T5) is a cool minimal percussion & rhythm based track with dirty sound, and crazy flying psychotic sounds. Locust (T6) just doesn’t do it for me. Geb the Cackler (T7) is a fast robotish happy naughty tune with nice old Goa touches- fun & funny. Only track I've heard ending with a build up! I Squid leads the way out with nice slow percussion work sketched with light psychedelic morning sounds.
[b]Bottom Line:[/b] Fast, bouncy, moving between the minimal and full sound, dark and light. Grows on you. Support the independent sound!
[b]Favorites:[/b]1, 2(!), 4, 5, 7.
