NOUS III

by NOUS

“

often sounds like contemporary classical viewed through an extreme metal lens, and the result is pretty exciting stuff.

“

spontaneous-sounding, heavily percussive recordings

“

a hypnotic piece of moody post rock, balancing vibraphone pulses with urgent drumming and some dusty strands of noir guitar and strings. It’s stunning.

“

The collective conjures a transfixing instrumental display that keeps with the band’s “Godspeed You! Black Emperor playing krautrock” ethos… my most anticipated album dropping this month

“

shows collaborators deep in the flow with layered percussion, an undertow of groove, wordless vocals and multiple peaks and valleys as the 4 minutes stretch into an infinite ocean of sound.
Incredible work.
