Album Rating: 4.5
This is probably the weirdest release of the year so far and I totally get all the negative ratings but it is just so intriguing to me. I spent this year fully diving into Kayo Dot's discog so I was pretty hyped and this album still totally subverted everything I thought it will be. Totally radical and original, keyboard tunes are brutal, atmosphere is haunting as hell. I am still not sure if I really think it's a good record or if it just caught me off guard, yeah sometimes it sounds like it's weird for the sake of being weird. But it's still very enjoyable for me after several listens so I'll see.
I'll take this level of batshit experimentation over trying to recreate the magic of their past efforts every time.

This is just something else, it aims higher than a music album

I mean, I like a lot of drone and noise stuff, but this is just boring as hell. I'll give it another go, but most of this is just grating and annoying tbh.

To y’all not enjoying, especially Mental Shed and Closet Door, try jamming while reading the lyrics. I’m still an avid defender of “The Black Stone” off Hubardo that everyone talked shit on, so that’s where I stand lol

The lyrics matter little when it’s unlistenable
|

the ratings chart for this is perplexing. probably the most diverse chart I've ever seen.
|
| |
First song is one of the worst I've ever heard, just utter nonsense
Gonna try to push thru eventually and listen to the rest tho

Sounds like a spiritual successor to Library Loft and Tartar Lamb with a little Moss Grew and Coyote thrown in, albeit still its own animal. Oracle is easily the best piece out of all five.
I can appreciate what Kayo Dot does each time even when it’s not really for me, with these last three now being my least favorite of all their releases. Neat atmosphere this has.
Alora Crucible and the solo releases are where it's at far as the last 7 years or so goes. Mongi you should really hear those if you haven’t, Driver’s more emotional and melodic songwriting come out there.

Choirs finally got put on streaming and following it up with this was quite an interesting contrast.

The last Alora Crucible album from last year is spectacular

Seems to be the concensus that the first song absolutely blows chunks.
|
| |
Worst song I have heard in any genre in the last couple of years
|
| |
the opening track is the black metal version of Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins
|
| |
Idk what that is but I'm gonna assume it is also unbearable
|
| |
John Lennon and Yoko Ono's solo project that's just them screaming over guitar feedback

Indeed, watching it being played live was truly memorable

Ewendrift might honestly be my favorite track of the 2020's
