“The Salt,” rolls through into the dissonant being of time and slithers down the slope, producing something addictive and forceful for all to see. The vocals bite and snarl, the riffs bite and punch. “Something In The Water,” is a fuzz ball of time and space, shimmering and slithering through the pulsating growth of time. The world snakes around and turns through. “Cardiac Arrest,” whizzes through and pushes the ground into the mould of time.
“Ending The Holocene,” fuzzes through, pushing and turning for the world to see before unleashing a chaotic dirge upon us all. “Manifest Destiny,” works up a head of steam and keeps the ground ticking over, smashing through the ground works. “Sleepytown,” diverges from the normal whirlpool of emotions to take a turn through the ground of sand and pain.
“Black Smoke,” builds up a head of steam to keep the pressure going, smashing down the boundaries that had been so carefully erected to show off. “Shotgun,” warps the mind, whirring through the catacombs of time, delivering something fascinating and discordant.
The album is out on 30th October via Lovely Records.
