Description/Reviews:
“The Yabba” begins simply as off-kilter synths spin around Stanier’s steady mallets. The camera zooms out, revealing other orbits: distorted guitar sweeps, nail gun cymbals, staccato synth pulse. Over nearly seven minutes, the paths loop in and out of each other, creating eclipses where one overpowers the rest and points at which they all array in perfect harmony. “FF Bada”, meanwhile, stutters out a couple layers of math guitar chug before Stanier splashes his way into the picture, pushing the guitarists faster and faster, the precision of their pieces never flagging despite the ratcheting tempo. Its a stunning display of musicianship, but more than that, it’s a track where the drums sound like giant typewriters and the guitars like factory machinery and it still manages to be entirely fun and groovy. “Dot Net” shifts inside the machine, all squonk and squiggle in the synths; “Dot Com” later works like a glitzier version of the same thing, the synths a little brighter, growing a little wilder amidst the mechanical chug.Read the full review at consequenceofsound.net
