Our Take

Ah, Black Country, New Road, the band with a name so long you're out of breath by the time you finish saying it. Their latest offering, "Ants From Up There," is a wild ride through the sonic landscape, taking listeners on a journey that is equal parts chaotic and mesmerizing. The album kicks off with the cacophonous "Chaos Space Marine," a track that sets the tone for what's to come. With its swirling guitars, blaring horns, and off-kilter rhythms, it's a frenetic opener that grabs you by the scruff of the neck and doesn't let go. Throughout the album, the band weaves together elements of post-punk, jazz, and classical music, creating a sound that is truly their own. Tracks like "Concord" and "Wanderer" showcase their ability to build tension and release it in unexpected ways, keeping listeners on their toes throughout. But it's the epic closer, "Opus," that truly cements Black Country, New Road's place in the pantheon of modern music. Clocking in at over 13 minutes, it's a sprawling masterpiece that moves through different movements with grace and precision, culminating in a cacophony of sound that is as thrilling as it is unpredictable. In conclusion, "Ants From Up There" is a stunning achievement from a band that continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in music. If you're a fan of experimental, genre-bending music, this album is not to be missed.
