Acid Mothers Reynols - Vol.3 - VINYL LP

Volume 3 of a set of collaborations between the prolific Argentine polymaths Reynols and the inescapable Acid Mothers Temple. Recorded in Buenos Aries on AMT's 2017 South American Tour, the music has identifiable sonic elements from both groups but ends up sounding like neither, with a surprising weightlessness that keeps things jammy and psychedelic until the final track's blustering rock. Taking up most of side 1, InchKicking Air BricksInch has a loose Gong/'70s Euro-classic vibe, with Satoshima Nani getting to swing on the drums in a way that isn't always part of AMT's steamroller, while the rest of the gang layers in abstract piano, percussion, glissando guitar, etc. InchMultiverse Turtle ReflexInch closes the side with a thick drone coda. Side two starts with Miguel Tomasin's gentle vocal and organ accompaniment on InchSmelling Oneiric AsadoInch before the group gradually gathers momentum with Wolf's thick bass anchoring layers of clean and loose guitar interplay. InchLemurian Tsunami Inside A HatInch is a thriteen-minute heavy rock epic, with the Reynols' guitars going head to head with Makota Kawabata's easily recognized interjections, ramping up into a riffy crescendo.
