Album Description
Available in:
"A World of Masks" is the fourth full-length release for the British psychedelic jazz collective The Heliocentrics, released May 26, 2017 through Soundway Records.
User Album Review
Though known primarily as instrumentalists, their fourth astral foray, A World of Masks, is the first to feature a lead vocalist. Slovakian singer Barbora Patkova and her audacious vocals complement the collective's fearless experimentalism nicely. The bells and electronic effects that herald the spectral opener, "Made of the Sun" segue into a slow-burning pulse that climaxes with Patkova's Amy Winehouse-influenced vocals, which shine on the spacey, Middle Eastern-flavoured meditation "Time" and the haunting "Capitol of Alone."
Instrumentally, the group remain an unclassifiable juggernaut. The cinematic sprawl of the title track builds tension for over seven minutes, bolstered by Jake Ferguson's ominous bass line and Malcolm Catto's incandescent percussion, which are overlaid with distortion, reeds and feedback. Meanwhile, the insistent psychedelic funk rocker "The Wake" and the deep, intergalactic-tinged Afro-funk mover "Square Wave" are easily the most rhythmically potent tracks these cats have dropped. It all makes A World of Masks the Heliocentrics' most beguiling effort to date. --- Reviewed by http://exclaim.ca
