One month after their debut album, While I was gone, Anda Volley's new band, Godmouth, returned with another collection of experimental, electronic songs. This release provides a similar sound and style to its predecessor and would have fitted perfectly as part of it. This time however the music is a little more spooky and perhaps shows a darker side of Godmouth.
'The Cave siren's guardian' is a dark and creepy tune, sounding like the evil twin of Pink Floyd's 'Echoes'. The gloomy yet vivid sounds make you feel like you are wandering around a majestic but dark cave, uncovering strange and scary spirits as you venture deeper and deeper into the cave. 'The mouth of a lake you're longing' has a more chilled out vibe to it. The electronic trip hop beats paried with the draney/ambient textures creates a sound that is both energetic and relaxed. As the track progresses the sounds yet wierder and more experimental, while Anda's charasmatic vocals, burried into the sound, gives the song a nice emotion charged depth. 'Hesitiate no more' brings out a curious eastern/psceldelic sound. There is a curious blurry sound that gives out a hazy shegaze-esq vibe. This is enhanced by Anda's spooky vocals that give the song a vivid eerie atmosphere.
Like the previous release, this EP shows off the much wierder and experimental side of Anda Volley. The sound is quite unconventional and as a result may not be accessible to all. But those open to new and unusual sounds will find something truly wonderful and rewarding from this experience.
