Our Take
Our Take
As I sit back with my kale smoothie in hand, trying to decode the sonic labyrinth that is SET AND SETTING's latest release, "Tabula Rasa," I can't help but feel like I'm trapped in a David Lynch film on acid. The album kicks off with a cacophony of distorted guitars and tribal drumming that sets the stage for what can only be described as a psychedelic mind-meld of epic proportions.
Tracks like "Dust" and "Ecdysis" take the listener on a journey through a sonic landscape that is both hypnotic and disorienting, like stumbling into a surrealist art exhibit after one too many edibles. The band's experimental approach to post-rock is both ambitious and audacious, with swirling textures and ethereal melodies that seem to materialize out of thin air.
But just when you think you've got a handle on where the album is taking you, SET AND SETTING tosses a curveball with tracks like "Saudade" and "Numb to the World," which veer into more ambient and introspective territory. It's like being on a rollercoaster that suddenly takes a detour through a haunted house – thrilling, but also slightly unsettling.
Overall, "Tabula Rasa" is a mind-bending journey through the outer limits of post-rock, with SET AND SETTING proving once again that they are not content to simply rest on their laurels. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the sonic cosmos. Just make sure to hold on tight – things are about to get weird.
