    This latest effort from Australian trio Methyl Ethel is a lithe, sinewy creature, by turns weighted and buoyant, half darkness and half shimmering light.

It's telling that the most popular track is "Ubu", which is actually just mediocre compared to most of the album. "Ubu" tends to follow the direction of most radio-friendly alternative music these days, while tracks like "No. 28", "Groundswell" and "Hyakki Yako" are slow-burners with soaring melodies and uniqueness.
    If you're a fan of songs that end in a dramatic fashion, you'll probably love this album as the most infectious melodies close out the tracks.

    Great album that unfortunately isn't getting the respect it deserves. Luckily, they popped up on Sirius XM for me...
