Father Murphy are back with an even more puzzling project than any other output from their recent past: two one-sided 10" containing two movements each, meant to be played simultaneously - or maybe not, because (just like they wrote in the liner notes) "you choose" and "never forget you have a choice".
At this point of their path, there's no real references in describing the musical content of this new release: it's Father Murphy and, if you really choose to go with them, be prepared to enjoy a wild, adventorous, sometimes unforgiving ride, where tortured vocals, magmatic drones, sudden outbursts of the blackest chamber music ever and surprisingly childish, almost uplifting melodies go always hand in hand. A bit like having Univers Zero, the Langley School Project children and some unknown Norwegian black metal band playing all together in the same small room.

I drove for hours in the middle of nowhere, boosting only "For organ and brass" in the car. The sound merged with the landscape and I thought I was into another world. Boring Machines
