“An ambient-cinematic tribute to Johnny Panic by Sylvia Plath”
Prog dispatches from the outer edge: Dino DiMuro delivers psychotic Americana via a reimagined Beefheart cover — familiar bones, wild new skin — while "Mirror Man" finally gets its "real" vocals after years as an instrumental impostor. Song for a Gorgeous Blonde's "Annicka den trolösa" pairs dense keyboards with spiky guitar figures in arty-proggy fashion, and "dold kappa" contorts an old demo into an unholy Downtempo-Jazztronica-Prog hybrid with a surprise Steely Dan cameo. Buzzard rumbles in with doom folk metal lead single "Disunion" — Sabbathian riffs meet Dylan-esque wordplay — as The Sleeping Cliffs round things out with upbeat instrumental rock laced with Motown, indie sleaze, and noise.
“Crazy keys, chunky guitars and tumbling tubs create a musical celebration of the mountains.”
