As a Sydneysider, I first found this album when I saw it performed live in here in Sydney. The announcement was on the YesFanz newsletter and it seemed interesting.

The band perfomed this, their debut opus, with incendiary precision and passion and aside from the performance, the music struck me as being something that would be equally enjoyed away from the electricity, bombastic strobes and lights of a live show.

The album - for sale at the venue, has since become something I have grown really fond of. It's a concept album in the same vein as The Lamb by Genesis or Brave by Marillion. It has a plot line and it takes you on the journey. Sometimes the music sets the scene as much as the words. There are songs which sort of wash over you on the album, not unlike the sea you hear on the record itself, where as live they had much more punch. Both presentations equally valid.

230503 makes a compelling listen and it's about time this end of the world had a band who value dynamics and atmosphere this much. It's probably no coincidence that two members of this band also play in an Aussie Pink Floyd show. There's a lot of Pink Floyd's genes to be heard in Anubis.
