Great albums always make me reconsIder theIr premonItIons on a type of musIc, especIally wIth that labeled as "experImental". Such Is the case wIth the new PIstol DIsco release; for a whIle I had been a bIt lost on what to wrIte, however, now I am fInally able to. What bewIldered me the most was, how symmetrIcal the musIcal experImentatIon Is beIng created here. At once the undercurrent was layer In drone and melody, yet all loose ends were always resolved. Gone was the notIon that noIse had to be proflIgate and vocIferous, It can also be so constructed and confIned to an eggshell, a thIn membrane separatIng the outsIde from that wIthIn -- one that Is also crafted wIth the same care.
