Our Take

Charalambides are back with their latest offering, "Exile," and it's safe to say they haven't lost their touch for mesmerising their listeners with their unique blend of experimental and psychedelic sounds. The husband-and-wife duo of Tom and Christina Carter have crafted an album that is as haunting as it is beautiful, with vocals that seem to float above the swirling instrumentation like a ghostly apparition.

The album kicks off with the ethereal track "Gone," setting the tone for what's to come – a journey through dark, brooding landscapes punctuated by bursts of light and beauty. Tracks like "Black Feathered Serpent" and "Reunion" showcase the duo's ability to create complex, layered soundscapes that draw the listener in and refuse to let go.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Into the Earth," a slow-burning epic that builds to a euphoric crescendo of swirling guitars and hypnotic vocals. It's a masterclass in tension and release, and shows that Charalambides are still at the top of their game after all these years.

Overall, "Exile" is a challenging listen, but one that is ultimately rewarding for those willing to take the journey. Charalambides have once again proven why they are one of the most innovative and exciting acts in the experimental music scene, and "Exile" is a testament to their enduring talent and creativity.
