Nov 1, 2011They've always been a subtle unit, resisting obvious moments of catharsis in favour of subtle dynamics, but here they manage the trick that Khanate mastered so effectively and create a tension that derives as much from the fear of silence as it does from the threat of noise.
-
Nov 1, 2011In Animal Tongue is not an easy listen, but it wasn't meant to be. Rather it investigates, explores, and experiments to open-ended conclusions, and to that end, it succeeds magnificently.
-
Nov 1, 2011At its best, when Bozulich is not just casting the spells, but stirring herself into the brew, In Animal Tongue ranks among the most provocative work she's done in recent years.
-
The WireDec 5, 2011Bozulich's gloom is top quality gloom, as far as that goes, but nothing here lights up the heart like [2008's] Voyager's blistering "Truth Is Dark Like Outer Space." [Sep 2011, p.51]
-
Nov 4, 2011After a point this lightless gloom can get a tad oppressive, but Evangelista are able to leaven the mood somewhat through consistently inventive instrumentation.
-
Nov 28, 2011In the end, though there are sublime moments on In Animal Tongue, the language of these insular and dark songs does not always translate well.
-
Nov 14, 2011Unless you're a die-hard fan of Bozulich's impressive and vast body of work, or like your "music" to be as willfully oblique as possible, In Animal Tongue is the type of record where you can save some precious coin by taking a pass on it.
