Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain

Though Current 93's David Tibbet began his career by expanding upon the noisy industrial clangor of '80s innovators like Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, the late '90s found him broadening his sound to encompass dark folk tunes and psychedelic textures. ALEPH AT HALLUCINATORY MOUNTAIN bears more than a passing resemblance to 2004's BLACK SHIPS ATE THE SKY, replicating its abstruse lyrics and menacing folk-rock instrumentation. Thankfully, Tibbet's ear for unnerving melodies and his flair for hallucinatory imagery remain undiminished, making ALEPH a valuable addition to his catalog.
