Mordecai
Seeds From The Furthest Vine
Featuring members who are nowadays spread between Oregon, Massachusetts and Taiwan, Mordecai releases its sixth full-length. Any astute listener will hear the guys taking their glorious din into new territories of clattering freedom. Organ and flute appear sporadically to offer new textures and it only gets wilder the further into the record you get, from a song that sounds like the gnarliest Messthetics-era troglodyte throb to long form clanging noisy storytelling 'down in the alley'. And like the previous five albums, the staunchly DIY post-Lou midwestern rock of Mike Rep and Jim Shepard permeates throughout 'Seeds From The Furthest Vine' in all its casual glory.
