These heavy metal fruits get so stricken by the proggy bug that they can’t help but bounce out into propane-pulsing pockets of jazz-juiced rock on occasion. That kind of ill-bred habit has seen these guys bleed their cusps crimson in the past, but Here Be Monsters is far less coltish. That Elephant9’s keyboardist Ståle Størlckken was sat behind these moves when they were still gestating as a commission for the Norwegian Technical Museum back in 2014 is plain. ‘Running With Scissors’ signals a high-bunting time, frothing deep retro-psych vibes (Floyd and Jefferson Airplane) before a coup- de-soleil crowning of Terry Callier’s ‘Spin, Spin, Spin’ cradles a corn dolly in the lap of Comus’ heathen heap. Here Be Monsters abounds with an almost Dionysian abandon – tender arpeggios, close-harmony vocals and plaintive piano patterns grandly punctuating the purr of the advancing machine – making this one of Motorpsycho’s most pleasurably polychromatic discs to date.
