Comment: this album of 9 tracks is about those human beings who used to imagine the ghosts really exist and because of that they also can be considered ghosts. Actually the combo can also be considered a phantom band because it is quite hard to discover some definitive information about them. First of all, the Australian Go Genre Everything used to exclusively release their sound under the domestic imprint Munchiegohilarious (you can find out approximately 10 releases from within). Formally it is a skewed release because 4 tracks are longer than 13 minutes and the rest of 5 tracks each of them used to be shorter than a span of 6 minutes. However, musically these 85 minutes are going to alter your mind due to those knee-deep psychedelic improvisations, and hirsute noisy soundscapes with such graters as haphazard, free-form drumming, dada-alike speech sound, didgeridoo-induced drones, loopy guitar-driven walls, lycanthropic growling and howling. If it seems to be wild and setting you free at the same time, then something it is still inside you you will have not cut primordial natural roots yet. The predominant rhythmic pattern of the issue is thick and groovy as if providing a dance-appealed material for the doom, space and krautrock-septic geeks. Hypnotic and baneful. More profoundly, killing boring feelings and tedious life aspects. All in all, it is overcoming and diving you potty in a positive sense. It may involve even more – it can be depicted as a pilgrimage through the purgatory where the intention and the ambience do encounter and interact with one another. Or a process of exorcism. By kindred souls there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of AXXONN, Circle Of Lebanon (both artists come from Australia), TFSL, LFC, Outer Gods, Ashtray Navigations, Vibracathedral Orchestra. In fact, the album`s sound used to partially connect to even more artists, from the dada music and freaked-out acts to free jazz and drone music to noise and sound art. A cut above for sure.
