Album info

“Sticks, is as gone as the Charalambides have ever gotten. Christina is still singing, wordlessly and beautifully, but the music is pure free-form abyss-diving. And you know what? It’s still incredible. In fact, I take it back, if they’re gonna play free/noise this good, they don’t have to do songs anymore at all. They’ve earned their right to go songless. Both are playing electric guitar, and it sounds like prepared electric guitar, as if Donald Miller and Keith Rowe or someone imported from Pelt’s Burning/Filaments/Rockets album were recording duets together. Except it’s probably better than that, because the sense of dream/mystery/atmosphere that always pervades the Charalambides music, no matter what ‘style’ they’re working on at the moment, is still here in full effect. The best comparison for me is quite simply the Sea Ensemble’s We Move Together album, if it were driven by electric guitars instead of ‘traditional’ jazz instrumentation. There’s 70 minutes of music here, split over 4 tracks, and they all sound great individually or as one long endless/nameless piece. The fourth 22-minute track is a real killer, opening with some of the greatest female space-phoneming since the Red Shift CD by White Out. As the track unwinds and progresses and spreads all the way way way OUT, Tom starts hitting these random high guitar notes that are in the exact same register as Christina’s vocal free-falling. Every time he hits one I think for a glorious nanosecond that it’s Christina’s vocals. It’s just the kind of thing that really earns that already-cliched free-music-crit phrase “beautifully disorienting.”” – Blastitude
