Our Take

NEWS FROM BABEL's "Letters Home" is a sonic journey that feels like getting lost in a maze of musical whimsy. This album is a delightful mix of avant-garde, post-punk, and prog-rock that will keep you on your toes from start to finish.

Featuring the talents of Chris Cutler, Lindsay Cooper, Zeena Parkins, and Dagmar Krause, NEWS FROM BABEL creates a sound that is both haunting and exhilarating. From the haunting vocals of Krause to the intricate instrumentation that weaves throughout each track, "Letters Home" is a masterclass in experimental music.

Tracks like "Banknote" and "Black Gold" showcase the band's ability to create a sense of unease and excitement in equal measure. The lyrics are cryptic yet poignant, leaving listeners pondering their meaning long after the music has stopped.

NEWS FROM BABEL's "Letters Home" is a must-listen for fans of unconventional music that pushes boundaries and challenges the status quo. So grab your headphones, press play, and prepare to be transported to a world unlike any other. This album is a true gem in the world of experimental music, and it deserves a place in your music collection.
