Expertly mixing a broad range of styles, moods, and techniques, Mamaleek’s sixth album streams along through its varied forms with high finesse and intriguing emotional turmoil, frequently fusing harsh and gentle elements.  Trip-hop beats, neofolkish guitar texturing, blackened vocals, tribal rhythms, free-wheeling drum arrangements, bursts of chaotic noise, and post-punk bass-lines get used in quick turn, along with other touches, with the careful assembly making them all somehow work together, and produce moments of beautiful pressures.  Though it runs by fairly quick, there’s so many details packed into the music as to ensure plenty of potential for deep examination.
