Cheers, will check it.

Edit: thoughts so far are that this is ****ing great and I see similarities in the textures and percussion. I'd say it's quite a bit smoother in style and production but definitely has qualities of Amnesiac. First two tracks both really cool. The way the vocals are mixed definitely echoes Thom's on Amnesiac. And now Seance varies it up and definitely gives strong vibes of 'Dollars and Cents' which is cool, a bit Krautrock. More of the stuff I was looking for originally so it bodes well. I'll post a full review later on today.

I don't wanna be a pushy git, but just in case you forgot...

Days n' Daze - Rogue Taxidermy (2013)

I'm not 100% sure what I was expecting to hear going into this album, but what I did hear was most definitely not what I expected. While the folk influence is still obviously evident, the approach the band takes to song writing, and the vocals especially, are much more punk than anything else in the genre that I've heard.

While at first, it took a bit of getting used to, I think the vocals make for a very unique sound, and just like I asked for, it certainly separates the group from other bands of the same genre such as AJJ. I don't know how frequently I'll be returning to the album, but it was still a very interesting listen nonetheless.

6.5/10

Alright, here goes...

I got this recommendation based on a few artists I referenced who make off-the-wall, high energy, abrasive electronic music for people with short attention spans, largely by chopping up a bunch of other people's material and jamming it together in an interesting way. The key parts for me are the high level of energy and the idea that they're doing something interesting with it. I'm sorry to say, but simply lifting an entire Mr. Bungle song, essentially unaltered (as Now Is Fish do on track two of this four track album), or an entire L.A. Style song (as they do on track three) is really not that interesting to me. Neither is lifting an entire Raymond Scott track and playing two long dialogue samples over it (as they do on track one). I'm not familiar with their other source material, but it sounds like quite a bit of it gets the same uncreative treatment. Here's a long sample of a death metal song. Here's a sped up sample of an entire house song. Here's a long sample of some kind of instructional karate song. Their approach to making this kind of music seems lazy, and more importantly, it's boring. The fact that all four tracks on this album are in the vicinity of fifteen minutes in length makes it even more tedious.

All that said, this album does have its moments. There are a few parts that actually made me laugh out loud for one thing. There are also some pieces of it that do veer into the kind of inspired sonic madness that I was hoping for—my favorite being the part in the middle of track two where a sample of a Slayer riff quickly cuts to a sample of someone singing the riff before cutting right back to the riff again. It's hilarious and awesome and I really wish the rest of the album was up to that level of crazy, ridiculous genius. Though, honestly, even those long samples I was criticizing are at least samples of songs I like a lot so I certainly don't mind listening to them even if I do have them elsewhere in my music collection.

Like I said, I liked some of it. I do appreciate the recommendation.

I'll have a review of the other one soon. I've listened to it a couple times, just want to listen once more before I comment.
