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. |

| The album title may sound emo, but that's about the only genre that Lymbyc Systym doesn't explore. The Arizona duo uses glitchy folktronica as a base while striking off into pulsating ambience, Tortoise-indebted post-rock, luminous trip-hop, junkyard jazz and spacey pop. Jimmy Lavelle of the Album Leaf lends a hand, as do Dylan Christy of the Dylan group and other cohorts. At its best, Love Your Abuser is so alive and varied that it's easy to forget the band is instrumental. When horns and stuttering drums mingle with vibraphone to close "Astrology Days," it's a busy yet organic moment that builds and builds, only to cut to a prolonged silence. Though this could seem like channel surfing, Lymbyc Systym feels more eclectic than erratic. - Resonance |
