If Lymbyc Systym pranced about venue stages with long golden locks and open shirts on their recent U.S. tour, it would make sense. A lot of Love Your Abuser surges with brawny arena post-rock, and before moody analogs and laptop click beats bring down "Idle Wires," this instrumental debut's first half is something Roger Daltrey might have liked to ruin with vocals in 1969, when The Who was long past its mod appeal. Love Your Abuser delivers, though, in vastly changing piano-and-swirl-driven rock climates ("Fall Bicycle") and in fluttering, beat-laden psychedelia ("Truth Skull"). - Remix |
