Other Lives - Rituals - VINYL LP

Double vinyl LP pressing. Other Lives, which includes Josh Onstott and Jonathon Mooney, remain focused on the search for audible clarity their next expression, their next melody, their next rhythm. Rituals, the band's third and 2015 full-length album, is a pure encapsulation of the trio's relentless drive for precision. Ambient soundscapes (InchNew FogInch) buttress against prog-rock stomp (Inch2 PyramidsInch) lending the album the experience of embarking on a choose-your-own-adventure novel. InchThere's kind of a duality to this record,Inch Tabish says, referencing InchPatternInch - Inchrhythmically kind of up-tempo, really fast-moving, marimbas, this new kind of new-wave orchestra soundInch - in opposition to the closing title track, a slow-building, piano-and-strings-anchored ballad Tabish wrote in the finals weeks of recording.
