    A lot of people might complain that it's too chaotic and at times makes no sense, but for long-time followers of GLK this is something to be expected, and at this point, part of the journey. As confusing as it's diverse, Breakthrough is a must-listen for Brainfeeder fans, and a good introduction to the world of the Gaslamp Killer.

    It's about as weird and wonderful as you'd expect from a guy who looks like he's been living on a commune for the past ten years.

    Breakthrough is an eclectic and challenging record that features more than a few sublime moments of heady bong-haze depth.

    In terms of its complexity and level of skill on display Breakthrough is a big step up for Bensussen.
