Tangents - New Bodies

Adoring this new album (the second from this Australian group; I haven’t heard the first), which is an amazing widescreen amalgam of Bark Psychosis/O’rang with The Necks circa Hanging Gardens/Drive-By - “kraut-jazz” I guess. Lots of dense percussion and floating piano chords and pools of bass. It seems like the kind of thing lots of ilxors would love.

I like the sound of this a lot, Tim.

Enjoying this a lot. One initial thought was that they suffered by not being the Necks (as do most bands) but that's faded the more I've listened.

This is very cool, nice and airy and active

Some nice stereo double drumkit stuff on this (very Tortoise-y). Tracks 4 & 5 are where it's at for me.

two years pass...

I still listen to New Bodies and thought it kind of sunk without trace. It's perfect for muggy days like today.

A new thing landed last night: lovely, clattery live set as a taster for a new album in September: https://tangents.bandcamp.com/album/risk-reaps-reward (is on Spotify as well).

There is a new gentleness to the skitter and clatter on this. Oddly reminiscent of the predator's ululations.

This is sounding great on first listen.
