9th album (and 1st since 1999) from this unique New Zealand band--Bailterspace crawl through music with the tenacity of a phoenix rising from the depths of a murky, dark fog. There's a buried beauty in the throbbing drone melodies steered by bass guitar leads, the explosive atonal riffs and slurred vocals. Songs chug along on a dreamy, distorted backbone rumble that somehow captures a near-pop passion with an appealing, dirty eloquence. Sounds that should annoy are buoyant and engulfing. It's a miscreant treat of off-rock strangeness with an uncommon allure. Includes former members of the Gordons. Reminiscent of bands like Sonic Youth, the Verlaines, Psychic Ills, Fire Engines, Jean-Paul Sartre Experience, Josef K., Straightjacket Fits, the Fall.
