Well, this certainly has been the year of the dense complex swirling cacophony of an album hasn’t it? I’m sure I have already written a dozen paragraphs describing dense layered sonic soundscapes. Well here is another, but before I hit you with descriptive similia, can I just say that this album is gorgeous. Utterly gorgeous. It is a majestic mix of heaviness, melody and aural experimentation. It feels like the ultimate improvised jam, as over nine tracks they head off musically wherever the spirit takes them.

It is loose, freewheeling and just beautiful, a constant evolving sphere of sound. What makes it so inviting is its warmth and obvious imperfection. So much of this sort of highly technical stuff is either harsh or coldly soulless. “Fluid Existential Inversions” is neither. It feels real, it feels organic and it feels really rather special.
