Our Take

Ah, the latest offering from the ever-eclectic Flat Earth Society, "Friends Are Temporary. Ego Is Forever." is a deliciously bizarre journey through the twisted minds of Belgium's finest avant-garde ensemble.

From the opening track, "Egomania," you know you're in for a wild ride. The jazzy horns, erratic time signatures, and off-kilter vocals all come together to create a cacophony of sound that somehow works in the most wonderfully weird way possible.

On "Acid Police," the band takes the listener on a psychedelic trip through a world where the rules of physics no longer apply. The frenetic guitar riffs, haunting vocals, and trippy synths all blend together to create a mind-bending experience that is equal parts terrifying and exhilarating.

But it's not all chaos and madness on this album. Tracks like "Friendship Bracelet" and "Hug Me Till I Smother" showcase Flat Earth Society's ability to create beautiful, introspective moments amidst the chaos. The delicate melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and soulful performances all come together to create a sense of intimacy that is both comforting and unsettling.

Overall, "Friends Are Temporary. Ego Is Forever." is a masterclass in avant-garde music. It's weird, it's wonderful, and it's unlike anything you've ever heard before. So grab your tinfoil hat, buckle up, and prepare to be enchanted by the musical madness that is Flat Earth Society. Trust us, you won't regret it.

Flat Earth Society

Flat Earth Society is not your typical band. Hailing from Belgium, this eclectic ensemble is known for their unique blend of jazz, avant-garde, and experimental music. Led by the enigmatic Peter Vermeersch, Flat Earth Society has been pushing musical boundaries since the 1990s. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with a rotating cast of musicians playing an array of instruments, from saxophones to tubas to accordions. It's like a musical circus, with each member adding their own flair to the mix. Their latest album, "Boggamasta III", is a masterclass in genre-bending madness. From the frenetic energy of "Spacecake" to the haunting beauty of "The Rise and Fall of Senne Lits", Flat Earth Society proves that they are not afraid to take risks and try new things. But don't let their avant-garde sound scare you off. Flat Earth Society's music is as accessible as it is adventurous. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just someone looking for something a little different, this band has something for everyone. So if you're tired of the same old music and want to inject some excitement into your playlist, give Flat Earth Society a listen. You won't be disappointed. Just be prepared to have your mind blown and your preconceptions shattered.
