Our Take

Ah, BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD, the band with a name as long as their songs (almost). Ants From Up There is a cacophony of genre-blurring chaos that somehow works in its own weird, wonderful way. From the opening track "Chaos Space Marine" to the epic closer "Opus," this album takes listeners on a wild ride through avant-garde jazz, post-punk, and whatever else they feel like throwing in the mix.

Lead singer Isaac Wood's spoken word delivery is both captivating and slightly unhinged, pulling listeners in with his stream-of-consciousness lyrics that range from the profound to the downright bizarre. The band's use of unconventional instruments, like the saxophone and violin, adds an extra layer of complexity to the already dense soundscapes they create.

Tracks like "Concorde" and "Sunglasses" showcase the band's ability to veer from cacophonous chaos to haunting beauty in the blink of an eye. Ants From Up There is not an album for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, it is a thrilling, exhilarating experience that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD may have ants in their pants, but they also have a knack for creating sonic landscapes that are truly out of this world.
