“Hyena Carpets Five is Earth to West's bold and experimental tenth album, blending the raw energy of boom bap, the smooth complexity of jazz, and the edge of alternative sounds.”
From the swamps of jazz to the far reaches of the bizarre: Mother Raspberry and the Lord Prometheus Jon. LXVII sends a time-traveling Monarch across the American political landscape with strange progressive industrial jazz and heavy jaunts — the soundtrack to a film that barely exists. Madness Beyond the Dome completes the Frasier-saluting saga where only madness awaits outside. Meanwhile, syn.terra's Kharybdis conjures piano-driven industrial jazz swamp grooves fit for a sunrise stroll through the bog, and Aeon / Umbrasia closes the trilogy with mechanical jazz dredged from rust-neglect machinery and fetid marshland depths.
