Drift ep. 1 part 5 - A Very Silent Way

[khouri]

One thing I’ve noticed about all the new music is how un-underworld it is. At least to me. Definitely seems to be following the lead of side one of Barbara Barbara, which had a more abrasive, rawer sound musically and vocally than I typically associate with the group. Karl’s vocals especially so; they’re so high in the mix and clearly enunciated. Honestly I don’t know that it’s my cup of tea, but I respect that it this stuff seems to be part and parcel of a deliberate evolution/direction.

Fair point. I haven't found myself connecting with much of it (but I do love the jellyfish promo) in recent months. That doesn't mean its bad, it just means that I don't find it all that Underworldly either. At this point I'm kinda just rolling with it hoping to see it all come together at some point. I'm also wondering if maybe, for me, it just won't?
