Reviews:
Aboombong immerses you in unsettling masses of sound that swarm, throb, clatter, and drone with vital, viral activity. It's like being enshrouded in fog in a foreign country of whose language you only have the most tenuous grasp and then chewing on a psychotropic root. It's a rare feeling, Rufus. (Dave Segal - The Stanger; Line-Out)
A quite remarkable blend of infectious afro-percussion, drones, minimalism and melanonchy...dangerously catchy...a refreshing, altogether absorbing record (Ali @ Shot by Both Sides).
I listened to this wonderful album last night and was truly blown away...a must for anyone interested in out there music (devotionalhooligan.blogspot.com).
An intriguing blend of lo-fi drones, tape manipulation, mangled afro percussion and twitchy free-jazz drumming. And I'm liking it a lot.(Mr Tear @ Snap, Crackle & Pop)
This Is Pretty Fantastic! (Michael DUSTdevil @ YoungMossTongue).
It reminds me the best of the CAN album, Tago Mago, which is quite something. Even Sun Ra...
Psychedelic, strong, inspiring...(deadwhite horse @ geometria innamorata).
A mind blowing release...you don’t want to miss this album. (Mogwai @ TheSirenSound)
Believe me you haven't heard anything like Aboombong before... this album is one hell of a trip. (Rhinocerouslip @ Hate R'n'B)
Fantastic release...One of the best of 2010 presented to us so far... very unique (poizless at Hype Light).
It certainly deserves some hype...blowing fresh wind into the Noise/Drone/etc... a delicious combo of tribal rhythms and nosy waves...Recommended (Amstad on Rate Your Music). |
