MH-252 Lymbyc Systym - Love Your Abuser  Love Your Abuser, the debut full-length from Arizona’s Lymbyc Systym, is a sprawling post-rock epic. Brothers Jared and Micheal Bell have created an album of ten distinct pieces that capture an emotional range not often seen in instrumental music. From the playful to the sublime, Jared creates the core of Love Your Abuser with layer upon layer of vintage keyboards and effects. Michael’s virtuoso drum work and tasteful programming add the perfect complement to the melodies. The album maintains a consistent sound throughout, yet each composition stands on its own. Without uttering a word, Lymbyc Systym have made one of the most powerful statements in the Mush Records catalog. |

| While most post-rock is preoccupied with unswerving stoicism, Arizona's Lymbyc Systym take a chance on the opposite, with click-and-drag dramatics that are blindingly colorful, lively, and optimistic. But the sibling duo's Mush Records debut, Love Your Abuser, strays far from the dueling guitar ballets and icy-cold aesthetics of genre poster boys like Explosions in the Sky, taking care to approximate Kieran Hebden's laptop magic and the Icelandic charm of Mum without borrowing too liberally. So while most post-rock bands are busy soundtracking gridiron battles and conjuring images of the Apocalypse, Lymbyc Systym paint pictures of birth and growth, making Love Your Abuser a welcomed respite from the genre's characteristic severity.- Flavorpill |
