✦✦✦✧ Dammit this should’ve been mine! On the off chance that you don’t know who these guys are, do yourself a favor and just listen to them immediately. This, the band’s second album, is every bit as mindwarpy as I’d hoped, equal parts Battles, The Jesus Lizard, and King Gizzard. You should know, however, that the points docked from a perfect score are baked into the premise of the band’s conceit: there are no real vocals to judge, there’s not much shredding here in a traditional sense (unless you count mental gymnastics, which I don’t), and once you recontextualize microtonal loop layering as your base camp, there’s not much incremental innovation here.
