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. |

| Fusions of electronica and rock music have spawned such nebulous catchphrases as post-rock and folktronica. Post-rockers can come off as overbearing and irradiate their compositions with destructive moodiness (Mogwai on occasion), while folktronica artists often lean toward untranslatable drum structures, losing listeners in percussive murkiness (Four Tet on occasion). Jared and Mike Bell, the duo behind Lymbyc Systym, skillfully combine elements with texture while maintaining aural accessibility. Their debut full-length release, Love Your Abuser (Mush), is a welcome collection of acoustic elements, sparkling melodies, and drum samples. "Truth Skull," one of Love's highlights, displays a well-constructed buildup centered around glockenspiels and breakbeats, which sounds like it could fit nicely on a Fridge album. - SF Bay Guardian |
