crackling pulses and accelerating tone alongside the persistent buzz. The beginning of “a taut muscle” sounds like what it must be like to ride on the transmission sites of cellular communication, before the song opens up to teeming dissonance and grand panoramas of noise. The four tracks together are like a deep meditation on the workings of inner space as a path to having greater understanding of larger patterns of existence. It would also make a great soundtrack to the next Flying Lotus science fiction epic. MOONPOOL – NOTHING SACRED The Sickly Hecks were one of the more acclaimed newer bands in the realm of garage rock adjacent post-punk. But the group shifted its sound significantly in the past year and renamed itself moonpool to reflect that transformation. This debut EP finds the band channeling its fuzz tone into grand atmospheric sweeps and drive more in the vein of the likes of Narrow Head and Title Fight. There is a gritty urgency and bite to its guitar sound with vocals able to lean back into introspection as well as full forward with a raw forcefulness. A welcome and fully realized reinvention.
