OTHER MUSIC SAID:
John Moloney and the Sunburned crew return with a sprawling new album on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label. Metaphysically themed, the five tracks (all with various combinations of infinity symbols in the titles) meander and undulate, sometimes achieving a Kraut/commune-style trance and at others draw on gloomy, Black Metal-esque ambience. And don't fret, there's a fair amount of freeform spazz out too. Plenty to invade one's headspace here, and those with open ears will be duly rewarded.

DUSTED SAID:
"Formed from the still smoldering embers of an outfit called Shit Spangled Banner sometime in 1997, the collective known as Sunburned Hand of The Man have been steadily creating a buoyant musical stone soup ever since. The group’s shambolic music occupies the not so spacious vortex between suburban ennui and its resultant emotional release. There’s no faulty hack-n-wheeze umpteenth generation windbag hippy shit here – this is vision, not revision.”

PITCHFORK SAID:
“...the sense of prevalent necessity from song to song further merits one of the superior critiques that can be lauded upon a work of art, the discrimination of timelessness. In the end, the music leaves one with a sense of somber contentment and satisfaction as mysterious in origin as the warmth received from the open-hand greeting of a stranger.”
