Though many will still be staring agape as they digest the Cronenbergian horrors of Locrian’s ‘Return To Annihilation’, those who can tear themselves away would be advised to grab a copy of this by way of companion piece. MATHODMB shimmers, churns and builds to a leisurely boil, seamlessly combining the esoteric clatter of Burial Hex with the slowly-unfurling beauty of Pan-American. Guitar, synth and piano lines appear to have been endlessly refined and refracted in an attempt to find some final alchemical truth, their murmurs tethered – if temporarily – by subtly inventive percussion that provides a useful star by which to navigate the band’s blank, baleful minimalism.
