This is, hands down, the eeriest album I've listened to so far this year. From the way Chip King's feint, screeched vocals are contrasted against those of the guest female vocalist who delivers beautifully sung, Bjork-esque lines throughout the project, down to the heavy, sludgey, drone guitar riffs that rip through layers of distortion only to be elevated by the industrial drum tracks that just as easily could be found on an IDM album, this thing is guaranteed to make you feel uneasy. And if that wasn't enough, the album even showcases some influence from the ritual ambient scene, to create even more of a hellish, dark, soundscape.

Saying all that, I'm still a little unsure of exactly where this sits with me. I'm a little polarized after finally giving it a couple of full listens, but I do know that I like it.

Stealing from you OQB. Frown you said you were still kind of chewing on it.

Swallowed this ****er yet?

Let’s not **** around this album crushes. This is why metal continues to churn.

What the **** is not to love???

This album is sick. Nihilistic as ****. 2016 politically in a ****ing noise nutshell.

5/5 Stars sure as ****

Join me in the bow down

That's such a huge record, especially Sodom and Gomorrah.

Trygve Seim: Rumi Songs

Forcing words into songs is tricky business that rarely works. Critics and prize-committees like to pretend otherwise but almost universally the music suffers resulting in painfully awkward presentations. Hiding behind the avant curtain doesn’t change the truth. These are dissertations that won’t be read. No amount of hard work can change that. The poetry is poison.

Don’t get me wrong. I like Rumi. It might not even be so distracting if it were a hybrid attempt at crossing Norwegian experimental with Farsi vocals (that I wouldn’t be able to understand) but the English vocals are untenable.

I’ll read Rumi and listen to music separately, thank you. Not recommended.

library tapes europe she loves

Movie soundtrack of the year. I think it’s a documentary with a lot of tits. I’ll look for it. Has anyone seen it?

larry coryell barefoot man sanpaku

This 2016 release turned out to be Coryell’s second to final album before succumbing to heart failure the following year. Coryell was a maverick fusion jazz guitarist and a very productive musician through the years. This record would be an unusual introduction to Coryell’s career and it may have met with little fanfare but this a damn good easy going fusion record. Pianist Lynne Arriale and the reedist from Florida, Dan Jordan, both stand out with excellent solid solos.

Lynne Arriale (sexy!)

New King Sandtimer

Mostly industrial noise with the occasional sorry attempt to branch out
