It’s been a weird week over here. Started things out with Alto Jeffro, an instrumental record that spooked and now we’re rounding out things with Antibloom’s EP. With just a few songs I thought listening and reviewing wouldn’t be take that long and I could knock it out, but the first listen seemed to drag on because I was like, oh shit…here we go again. A repeat of Monday, really? EP wasn’t as horror movie soundtrack as Alto Jeffro, and it wasn’t instrumental – but the um, experimental ways definitely left me with my head cocked to the side and my ears wondering why.
Let’s take this one song at a time. There’s only three, so it’s no trouble. “Gutslime” was the first one to make my week end like a trip down the rabbit hole. It was strange and I’m not even sure where you’d put this in a record store. That wasn’t the case with “Chest Pearl.” That was clearly alternative music that took on an experimental persona. Lastly, “Traxxler” …oh this one. It teams a speech from The Terminator with music and as the words’ passion increases, so does the music. While I was out of it at first, it turned out to be my favorite because it was unexpected. The Terminator – interesting.
Antibloom isn’t something I’d listen to, it’s more for those who like to take chances and leap off cliffs when it comes to music. If you’re that daring and like things that are different, then by all means check out EP. You’ll likely be appreciative of the record and make sure to note that it’s available for the “name your own price” deal, so that’s awesome, right? EP is out now.
