New York and avant-rock have never really been two entirely foreign entities to each other in recent decades, and after listening to this album, I consider the trio Psychic Paramount worthy of continuing this tradition. The entire listening experience is a whirlwind of post-rock influenced experimentation.
Metronomes beating on anvils in chaotic motion; overlapping minimalist patterns that resonate and create abstract pictures; continuous assembly of musical components until the tracks resemble large mechanical structures.
Each composition always seems to reach an ideal, perfect, and stable balance, mentally transforming all instruments into potential percussion; the iterative obsessiveness with kraut-rock smudges could often idealize a sort of accelerated drone, continuously stuffed with cacophonic hallucinations.
N5: clouds over the earthquake.
2011. II is both minimalistic and polymorphic music, creating its kaleidoscopic essence amid noise roars of math orientation, between psychedelic deliriums with post-rock articulations and a sort of angular free-jazz stripped of brass.
An extremely intense and interesting listen, certainly not for every day.
