The Contortionist | Robby talks about the new album, shifting sound and reusing motifs
Manage episode 208847966 series 2342406
"The Contortionist ultimately prove to have as much in common with the psychedelic experimentation of later Opeth or Tool and even the textured melodicism of Sigur Ros as they do technical heavy music, but they’ve never sacrificed urgent impact. Critics and fans admire their intelligent approach to the crushing riffs of tech-metal, which becomes more vibrant with elements of ambitious post rock and jazzy / fusion-infused virtuosity. Even when angular riffs, odd time signatures, and devastating breakdowns give way to hypnotic, ethereal, and trancelike musical meditations, The Contortionist are never lacking in total power."
Ben talked to Robby Baca about the new album, Clairvoyance, the steadily shifting sound and the reuse of motifs.
Aired 10th August 2017.
