Three electric guitars, two drums, assorted improvised noises. Mostly loud but contemplative, with the guitarists producing odd sounds or atonal melodies (or general background fuzz), and the drummers producing an abstract clatter.
Doesn't grab me like their first CD did; many pieces set a good atmosphere but just sort of sit there for too long.
1*- Low-key burbles
3- Monotone pulse, lots of jumbling
4- Spacey, hovering guitars, clattery drums
6*,7*,8 - Flowing current of psych noise; track 6 seems to flow best
10*- Cooldown phase
12- Dark rumble
13- Sounds of people talking
