The percussion is by far the biggest draw in its texture, but the angular guitar phrases lean into the peculiar atmosphere remarkably well, and while I did find myself wishing the basslines were a little bit more defined in the mix, I was shocked by how well the synths blended to create the uncanny, psychedelic atmosphere, well accented by the husky interplay of Brian Lopez and Gabriel Sullivan. Anyway, I checked out their debut, mostly liked it, and found the textures intriguing enough to give this album a shot and… yeah, I wound up liking this a lot! Again, half the appeal of an act like this comes in its description: imagine the intersection between late 80s progressive rock, sophisipop, and the snarled side of the late Ennio Morricone, or if Muse played ‘Knights Of Cydonia’ completely straight instead of a manic pastiche, it’s worth hearing because you won’t hear anything else like it in 2021… but even beyond novelty there’s a lot to appreciate. The other thing to highlight is that many of these guys are industry lifers - their drummer worked with Alice Cooper and Bob Dylan in the 90s - so it has the feel of ‘we’ve been playing alongside folks for a while, done a ton of session work, let’s venture into our own weird territory’.
