Listen to Einsteinium Delirium
The Detroit rockers Custard Flux return with a 5th album, where plenty of varied ideas enter the 10 tracks of electric prowess.
“Peace And Love” opens the listen with Nick Pruett’s hard hitting drums that suit the soaring guitars of the prog fueled climate, and “Burning In The Sun” follows with plenty of rhythm, as Timothy Prettyman’s bouncy bass makes an impression.
“Transmutation” occupies the middle spot with mesmerizing guitar and a calmer pace that welcomes a unique dreaminess that’s ethereal, while “Right Now Here In Time” showcases Curvey’s smooth voice amid meticulous guitar via Vito Greco.
Close to the end, “Time For Me To Go” comes with psyche-influenced ideas thanks to the swirling guitar and rich delivery, and “Fat Man” exits with Andy Thompson’s pretty mellotron that unfolds with intimacy before the busy and textured haze sets in.
Another iconoclastic display of pop and rock nods, Custard Flux continue to defy convention with their exciting and unpredictable ways.
