When a record drops from the sky this fully formed and perfect, workers look up from the assembly line and smile. Conceived of as a double-LP, this record shakes furiously and lies down gently as it was recorded on mountain tops and a riot torn Michigan town. This release tells tales of lost nations and subjugated races and uses all means necessary in the rock arsenal ... from flat-lined acoustica to frothing rockulism. The question really is this: are you ready to look in the mirror and let this into your earholes? Its been almost 2 years since they released Tasheyana Compost, their last record on Load, and the game has been stepped up immensely. Songs are as dense as malachite - complex like an infinite layered onion. Moods on this double LP go from quiet campfire drone to suntan lotion slippery cortex massagings of Pheonix all-star Meat Puppetry. Slather on as needed. Name brand spotters will compare it to bearded/pointy headed legends like MAGMA and the INCREDIBLE STRING BAND while more intelligent folks will just say Wake the Fuck Up, its 2005. You have your orders, Wohaw.
