4 stars Listening diary 13th September, 2021: The Gabriel Construct - Interior City (experimental/progressive rock/metal, 2013)

A really creative and unique album, but one you're probably only going to enjoy if you aren't too fussed about good production. This is incredibly rough, and not always in an intentional way, but it houses some really left- field and unusual pieces of music. Sitting somewhere between progressive metal and the more eclectic sides of avant-prog and even rock in opposition, this flies all over the place in terms of genre and mood. The performances are raw but varied, and the melodies and musical motifs are bizarrely catchy, even though I would never describe this as accessible. It definitely is a far cry from the ultra polished and mechanical sounds of most modern prog metal, and to me it carries on the spirit of a band like Taal, or even Kayo Dot's more progressive moments. The production and performances will always give this album a ceiling of enjoyment for me, but in spite of its obvious flaws it's definitely a very interesting album.

7.1 (7th listen)
