I've started compiling next week's Listening To This Week and it is a little different. A mixture of what we are known for, but also showing the different directions that we like to journey down. I mention this because there is a track from this superb offering.
I suppose might settle on Alt Rock as a genre compromise for Creature Law. It is not that really, but at least it is nearer to it than most of what gets sent in labelled Alt Rock which is a mixture of everything that is anything but that.
This is wonderfully chaotic, a bit surreal, effectively noisy and has a will to change directions at the drop of a hat, not that I expect many hats are in the vicinity. Milky Sandy And Soil is awesome, slightly Cardiacs, slightly Masters Of Reality.
And Dine Ophella is completely different. Prog that nears Metal without getting there, but with Psych thrown in just to confuse you more. Poison Silver Xanadu is probably my fave, a real riff-a-thon, a bit like a much heavier Cohered And Cambria.
Sublime is slightly more Psych and even hints at Pop Rock, but not for too long. It just rattles your very soul and cannot resist falling into something King Crimson 80s like. Finally, the closer is Irregular Handshake.
That is a song that instrumentally gets early Rush and is the most melodic thing on display. This is an album that won't be for all, but if you have an open mind, you will be surprised by how it grabs you. Noisier than you would normally hear on here, but I absolutely adore it.
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on Vinyl, CD or as a download.
