Garden Window O’Brother

“pulses with more intertextual references to other genres than Roland Barthes could shake a sick at. ‘Opener’, for instance, begins on a distorted dirge of a note, feedback wailing, before the stripped back drumming and the strangely sensuous vocals come into play. As the track lurches forward, it becomes almost a form of extreme psychedelia, but transcending any trippiness and instead embracing the destruction of Melvins-style sludge metal, ever so often breaking out into Cave In jolts of noise. ‘Sputnik’, ‘Machines, Pt. 1’ and ‘Machines, Pt. 2’ are quite familiar, but the rest of the album follows a more exploratory theme, with longer tracks and a dizzying array of influences such as Converge, Led Zeppelin, Explosions In The Sky and Godspeed You Black Emperor. Other longer tracks, such as ‘Poison!’ and ‘Last Breath’, follow more of a downbeat style, the first along glistening shoe gaze tones, before a menacing midsection leading to its noise-driven denouement.” - Fin Murphy, Dead Press
