Tras la orgía surrealista de sintetizadores que fue
Plastic House on Base of the Sky,
Kayo Dot buscan asentamiento (provisional, como siempre) en un sonido a medio camino entre el último disco y
Coffins in Io. "Turbine, Hook, and Haul" me recuerda también a los Ulver más elegantes y pretenciosos (los Ulver de
War of the Roses, que me quema en la lengua esta referencia ya, leñe). Hay dos adelantos ya, para los cuales han publicado sus dos primeros videoclips. Y merece mucho la pena verlos. Pero de verdad.
Viendo el buen momento que vive el metal progresivo en el foro con los nuevos discos de Tool y Leprous, a ver si hay suerte y este disco goza de buen acogimiento por aquí.
Y si todo suena vivo, es por cortesía de otro grande:
Produced by Randall Dunn with Toby Driver Más info del disco, en qué se basa y el porqué de sus dos ediciones con diferente tracklist:
Now fifteen years on, Kayo Dot's new album, "Blasphemy," is once again based on an allegorical story by Jason Byron. It explores greed, especially politically, and surrounds three characters on their search for treasures; only to be destroyed by the very treasure they sought – a sleeping girl with terrible power named Blasphemy. Produced by Randall Dunn (who helmed Kayo Dot's "Hubardo," "Coyote," and "Blue Lambency Downward"), "Blasphemy" is Kayo Dot’s most forthright statement ever - directly confronting the world at-hand, foregoing the encouraged escapism found ubiquitously throughout the rest of their catalogue, and embracing the perspective a band in such a rare position as this can bring - much more energetic than the ebb and flow of 2003's "Choirs Of The Eyes", a more straight-ahead rock album than "Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue" (2006) that channels the playfulness of 2010's "Coyote." Pulling from elements of black metal, jazz, pop and Driver's own wild sonic concoctions, Kayo Dot is constantly evolving.
"Blasphemy" will be released on September 6th, 2019 via Prophecy Productions, and will be available on LP, CD Digipak, 2xCD book edition (hardcover, 18x18cm, 48 pages with enhanced artwork, a full chapter of the novel that serves as the album’s thematic basis, and feat. the 6-track bonus CD “Purity” with renditions of “Blasphemy” tracks by Wet Math) and ltd. boxset (LP on exclusive clear vinyl, 2xCD artbook, three art prints, and a full map of the novel’s universe).
Los adelantos. Impagable el aire MTV 90's que tiene el primero: es justo como me imaginaba un videoclip de esta gente. Abstracto y con toques David Lynch. El segundo me pone nostálgico y es una cucada: no digo nada para que fastidiaros la sorpresa.
