Description
is the hallucinatory one-chord stunner Heat Sink. A chiming baritone figure reminiscent of Sam Wilkes more sentimental moments carries through its entirety, and a single splashy cymbal marks time, keeping each instrument on a loose tether as it explores the outer reaches. The band members (including Palladinos son Rocco, also on bass) seem both locked in and completely independent, flickering around each other like atomic orbitals. Every few moments, distorted, overdriven melodies overlap and harmonize, resonant frequencies fusing into a softly glowing drone. Heat Sink is completely beguiling, a wall of sound thats equally mesmerizing if admiring its towering totality or scrutinizing every exquisite detail. It feels both longer and shorter than its 14 minutes, a trick that Palladino and Mills pull off on every track on the album; each lyrical passage is an instruction manual for experiencing nonlinear time. That Wasnt a Dream is music as quantum theory, using the expanse between speakers to pass through dimensions. (via Pitchfork)
