Do Make Say Think kick their new one off with one of their best tunes to date in 'Do' (the other tracks are called 'Make', 'Say' and 'Think'.. Yeah, I know). It's quite the little rocker, sporting chugging guitars and a cheeky little riff that keeps popping up like a persistent wee meerkat who just won't stay dead. It's quite poppy actually, reminding me more of Constellation associates Broken Social Scene (whose self-titled album's artwork is shamelessly copied here) than anyone actually on the label. Unfortunately, despite having heard Other Truths three times now, which is much more of a crack of the work stereo whip than most records get, I literally can't remember anything about the other three songs. I think the word is 'forgettable'. For the record, my favourite one of theirs is Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn, my favourite colour is purple wow and my favourite animal genre is turtle bass.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

*  ‘Other Truths’ is a magnificent return to form for DMST and ranks alongside the very best GYBE! and TSMZ albums in Constellation’s catalogue.

*  More than ever, the players keep their heads down, creating wonderful multi-movement instrumental works (with the occasional mantric or wordless vocal passage, courtesy guest singers THE AKRON FAMILY and Lullabye Arkestra), overflowing with attention to tone and timbre, animated by unfussy yet ornate harmony, melody and polyrhythm, shot through with ineffable soul.

*  The four songs on Other Truths are vintage Do Make Say Think, and the album represents the first time since the band’s debut (recorded over a dozen years ago) that they have found themselves with an entire collection of songs that unfold so organically over long duration. As testament to the unfettered evolution of these tunes, the band has titled them simply "Do", "Make", "Say" and "Think".

*  DMST are an amalgam of many elements that seem present all at once, on every song and through every album: cerebral, emotional, atmospheric, visceral, cosmic, pastoral, synthetic, organic, meditative, ecstatic. Other Truths rallies them all once again, in new and dynamic ways, bearing the distinct imprint of the band’s sound a brilliant addition to the band’s canon.

*  Other Truths is available on CD in a custom gatefold cardstock jacket and in a first pressing on deluxe 180g LP that includes a limited edition poster (unique to the LP package), an artwork insert printed on heavyweight translucent paper and a CD copy of the album all packed in a thick 24pt. paperboard record jacket.
