Description/Reviews:
Although the project/album changed over the course of writing the second album to include a wider range of influences, Synthetic Outcomes was written with the intention of combining the tremendously under appreciated Adrian Belew with the themes and general oddness of Canada's Voivod.

Description/Reviews:
Now, with keyboardist John Lönnmyr, the group steps into an electro-analog, beat based future with reminiscences of the past. ”Layers of in Between” features fourteen tracks with strong ties to heavy, riff-based rock, drawing inspiration from early 70’s bands like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. This raw style creates elaborate contrasts when combined with the band’s more melodic, lyrical, and electronically tinged material. Thymeshift leaves a mark with their massive heaviness, often intense and sometimes stripped-down improvisations, as well as intricate soundscapes. ”Layers of in Between” is a modern, powerful production with clear historical retrospectives.
