Anti-Presence (I): Exit Visa
Willard empfiehlt und ich gebe das gerne so weiter: The first new music in nearly seven years from Analog Birds. Typical of the band’s mission statement, Anti-Presence is a swirling array of pop harmonies and shifting musical beds. A challenge, perhaps, for those who are easily satisfied by the radio, but for pop connoisseurs who crave original ideas, inventive vocal arrangements and a grab bag of stylistic invention, Analog Birds’ elaborately detailed obsessions are refreshingly unique. The 7-minute “Exit Visa” is a great example of the band’s compositional restlessness. The songs are constructed in a way that never seem settled, never relying on templates and never repeating itself on cue – pinballing from idea to idea and reinventing itself from segment to segment. In short… you’ve never heard music quite like this before, and that fact alone should warrant 15 minutes of your time… especially if you’re the type that feels you’ve already heard it all before. Listen to the entire release via the Bandcamp player and score it for $2.
