I done ****ed up. Be sure to put the right name in the OP, Machine.

I could see Noe making some weird kind of death metal with really offensive lyrics.

Skeletons & The Kings Of All Cities - Lucas

Okay grindy said this was indie, but wiki says experimental, so I don't know what to expect.

Edit: okay I got two songs in and dropped my phone in a bowl of water, so I'm gonna start the review at track 3 instead. Just know that I loved the first two tracks they are definately green (the first one maybe even blue).

Track 3: Hey W'Happens (5:17)
Starts off with some free jazz, okay. Now there's a sort of groove coming in from the drums. The sound on this album is great, and their style fits right in with the production. Can I not write and just dance please? Man this is great.

Track 4: Don't Worry (10:50)
Longer one. K so it's starting off with like this drum click groove and these jazzy guitars weaving in and out. This is much more jazz orientated than I would've thought. Mother****er has a voice like Sufjan. Ooooooooo this is amazing. Thank you grindy!!! That was incredible.

Track 5: The **** From The Dogs (3:13)
I'm kinda dissapointed all the songs aren't like 10 minutes. Oh this is beautifully played. I can't tell if it's finger picked or not, but there's this amazing little guitar interlude in the beggining of this song. This is Grizzly Bear-esque. That's not a bad thing I love Grizzly Bear.

Track 6: Like It Or Not (3:40)
Back to the grooving weirdness. Symohonic strings with a nonsense rhythm, and funky wah wah guitar. And it all meshes pretty well. I want to say this second section is poppy, but that's not really doing it justice. Oh well, another great track.

Track 7: Let It Out (2:55)
Loving the percussive nature of this album. This has a sort of Latin Jazz groove, but loungey like Stereolab for lack of better comparison. Now it has this electro pop thing going on, but if all the electronics just didn't work properly.

Track 8: Sickness (4:45)
Next song already. This repeating line on electric piano just keeps going while everything else just kind of morphs around it. These guys are really ****ing talented musicians. Trying to explain this album is really hard to do.

Track 9: Push 'Im Out (19:37)
Faded straight into the next song. Some sort of wind chimes and weird cymbals as the backdrop on this. Sounds like something out of the Frownland book of percussion. There's this haunting picked guitar with the vocalist that just variates on the same melody over and over. What in the ****ing **** just happened?!?! Thus blaring horn section just came it I thought I went straight black metal for a sec, god that was loud. Aaaand they're gone. This is very spastic I honestly can't explain what happening because it changes minute to minute. The guitar is slowly fading out at only like 7 minutes...

Hidden track
Okay so it was like 10 minutes of silence. The backdrops on this album are superb. Lots of noisey beeping electronics and things just moving in and out of the main song. Kinda reminds me of what Wilco did on YHF, but less tonal. Actually if you've heard some of the demos for YHF when they were more experimental and noisey than you'd have a general idea of what this sounds like; only like a finished version of that. Yeah this is another great song, not as amazing as the "closer", but still great stuff.

Final Verdict: Absolutely amazing in every way. I honestly have nothing to complain about the whole way through, and in a few listens I might even call it a perfect album. Again thank you so much grindy, I'd of never heard of this without your rec, and I'd have been missing out on a lot apparently. I'm gonna check out the rest of their discog sometime, see if it lives up to this. ****ing stunning album.

I was pretty sure you'd like it, but didn't expect that much love.
Glad you had fun, I love sharing.
