True Aristocrats-Mary Amygdala CD Review
by Tim Wenger
Fort Collins duo True Aristocrats throw down some very ambient experimental rock on their new album Mary Amygdala. Instrumentally, the music is somewhere between art rock and psychedelic; instrumental and weird, but also fast paced and captivating.
At times the songs are a bit hard to follow, which may be what makes them entertaining. Will Waylen and Tyler Lindgren certainly are not trying to appeal to the masses. A steady beat, often a non-instrumental sound, is the driving force in many of the songs, just about the only predictable element in their music. Artsy music like this can be oddly appealing, especially when your mind is not completely focused on it. Many instruments are at play on the record, as well as some trippy sounds and effects, making for a full-on experience of sound that won’t leave you feeling empty.
I would not recommend falling asleep to this record; that is, unless you are trying to have some wicked lucid dreams.
