I received as my gift...

An interesting mixture of indie rock and experimental electronica. The music is very rhythm-based with influences seemingly being taken from krautrock and dance music, as well as taking some darker and more abrasive inspiration from post-punk. There's all kinds of left-field experimentalism being thrown in, such as the bizarre-sounding vocals on 'Pie IX' and some cool psychedelic keyboard effects. Even some songs such as 'Up Past The Nursery' are oddly catchy and hypnotic.
While it is an interesting and very artistic album for the most part there were moments where my attention seemed to wander somewhat, particularly towards the end. Even the good moments feel like they are missing that extra little something special to make it a really great album overall. But as a whole it's certainly not a bad album at all.
I'm 98% certain that it was Pedestrian who sent this to me herself, as she seems to be a big fan of this album. Anyways thanks for the gift!
