Plus Tapes

The epic, virtuoso compositions of Chicago’s Brontosaurus — Nicholas Kelley and Nicholas Papaleo — rise and fall as if pillars of an eerie prog-like cathedral. Or as they put it, “There are great secrets within the mummy’s fists. The boasting caterwauls and noxious vitriol of thousands of years twisting space.” This album is one that was built with the utmost care — every cymbal crash, every wailing shriek, every punch of piano string and vibraphone bar perfectly poised amidst one another. Take a deep breath, take a seat, and absorb this triumphant achievement in all its fantastic glory.
