Think that An Albatross couldn't get any more anarchic than their previous warped long player, Blessphemy...of the Peace Beast Feastgiver and the Bear Warp Kumite? Wrong again, jerky. For The An Albatross Family Album, the band's core circus-spazz sound is augmented by percussion, woodwinds, brass and synthesizers -- 14 extra musicians in all, drawing from almost every previous incarnation of the band, all smeared over dozens of stacked studio tracks. The album’s allegedly based on an allegory of a tribe of desert-dwelling pilgrims, but there’s no way you can possibly follow the narrative thread amidst all the screaming and hyperspeed post-hardcore hodown mumbo-jumbo going on here. Quite the family reunion.
So good!
