Bleep

Thighpaulsandra is a veteran of many music worlds, and displays it on his kaleidoscopic multi movement tracks. With his first album in six years, Acid & Ecstasy, he whizzes through a particularly electrifying set of stylistic left turns. ‘Princess Margaret’s Mellotron’ starts off with guttural spiritual ambience before swerving into a twisted rock ‘n’ roll breakdown. A tripped out, irreverent take on the 2020s Britpop re-revival powered ultimately by a vast array of electronics and Coily industrialism, the track somehow expertly blends trickling gamelan polyrhythms, marching band brass, and murky ambience into a genre defying art rock mixture.
