| 4.0 excellent | Alabaster Jones | September 7th 17 |
This is one of the strangest yet one of the most beautiful things either of these distinguished avant-folk artists are on. The Vim And Vigour Of Cerberus Shoal And Alvarius B. take two songs by Alvarius B. in "Bloody Baby" and "Viking Christmas" and one song by Cerberus Shoal in "The Real Ding" and feed them through each other's filters. The final result is great, with Alvarius B. making the songs sound so intimate and personal in an avant-folk style, with Cerberus Shoal making the songs sound grandiose and rousing in a combination of post-rock and progressive folk. The best songs are the two "Ding"'s, with the vocal melodies, lyrics, and guitar work all juxtaposing melancholy with the just the right amount of hopefulness in two utterly fantastic works. The other songs are good, great even, but both "Ding"'s put them to shame and are worth the listen to the album by themselves.
