Our Take

Thollem McDonas's latest album, "Meeting At The Parting Place," is a sonic rollercoaster that takes listeners on a wild journey through the realms of experimental music. McDonas, a seasoned musician with a reputation for pushing the boundaries of sound, delivers a truly unique listening experience that is sure to leave even the most seasoned music connoisseur scratching their head in awe.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, it's clear that McDonas is not here to play by the rules. His avant-garde approach to composition and improvisation is evident in every note, as he expertly weaves together layers of piano, vocals, and electronics to create a symphony of chaos and beauty.

Tracks like "Chaos Magician" and "The Parting Place" showcase McDonas's unmatched skill as a performer, with intricate melodies and complex rhythms that keep the listener on their toes. Meanwhile, more subdued tracks like "Silent Moon" offer a moment of respite from the frenetic energy, allowing for a brief glimpse into McDonas's softer side.

Overall, "Meeting At The Parting Place" is a tour de force of creativity and talent, proving once again that McDonas is in a league of his own when it comes to pushing the boundaries of what music can be. Whether you're a seasoned fan of experimental music or just looking to expand your sonic horizons, this album is a must-listen for anyone who loves to be challenged and delighted in equal measure.
