Much of this record is a gentle advance on the ideas of Concerning the Entrance Into Eternity, with Jarmusch again taking a back seat to Van Wissems lead. Its a meditative piece, and one that passes naturally from bristly, repetitive motifs (Flowing Light of the Godhead) to more subdued material (The Mystery of Heaven). Even when they reach peak noise, about two thirds of the way through Flowing Light, its more hypnotic than aggressive. This is material with a firmly contemplative edge to it, casting a spell only broken with the occasional fluffed note or lapse into accidental dissonance. Theres a definite sense that this was recorded live and with little practice beforehand. The title track feels sloppy and aimless at times, perhaps deliberately so. But this is music that benefits from a certain amount of discipline, such as the feral splendor of The More She Burns, where the pair sync up perfectly following Swintons wonderfully haughty vocal. - Pitchfork On Spotify: open.spotify/album/6N8RtTHx9kdshBU24bY6w4
