“Sometimes something as utterly and completely silly as a fucking goose can bring home all we’ve lost.”
On Negation of Negation, over a whirring, staticky noise-rock score, Chicago-based band, Funeral Plain proposes that destruction is essentially a form of change. And losing yourself implicitly raises the possibility that you will find yourself; and that when you do, you will discover nothing, or in lyricist, Jonny Gill’s words, ‘no-thing.’ This record argues, as Jonny Gill told me, that there is no innate being, just a continual process of becoming. But first you have to lose yourself.
Kallsup delivers a mystical, ethereal rock experience with “Chimär (GBG)”, transporting the listener to a cinematic dreamscape.
“January” is cinematic and dreamlike, pushing sonic boundaries without ever losing its sense of intimacy and melodic force.
