Opener Arak emerges swinging in the metallic zones with raw voices that eventually settle into what sounded to Disaster Amnesiac like the hallucinations of hiker that's been trapped within a dry canyon. It's a very active piece of music and so heavy. Eventually the listener is spun outward from the canyon and into Witblits. This one can be equally unsettling at times, at least until it concludes with primitive, core sounds and dog style (no, in the vocals you perves.)
Side two of og starts with Raki, a nice slow burn of low bass tones. Irarrazabal can way extend her instrument! A song which presents presents personal linguistics and drama it is. Next up, Singani has contemplative zones and actual Jazz singing, and why not? The realm can always use more Jazz singing, and if you don't believe that please listen to The Steve Lacy Quintet with Irene Aebi or Billie Holiday, ok? og finishes with Orujo. There are throat singing and marching sounds on the tune and then Yeti conference high in the Andes. It's a treatise upon the development of language and it's a lovely conclusion to the album.
Along with the fascinating sounds of og, its jay card art, non fussy and appealing in its aesthetic, make for a release that a collector of physical objects of this type will surely crave. You should be so lucky as to score a copy. You'll like it. A lot. As Disaster Amnesiac does.
