The Mercury Tree - Permutations (2016)

[Phlakaton]

Bought it, if only for immediately understanding that this is a real progressive band, who's set to create something fresh and unique. I am still uncertain about how much I can connect to the music (I got the same sensation from Permutations, but I think this latest is more approachable).

I love hearing you say this one is MORE approachable - I would think the opposite - but I find it working on so many levels - those odd notes graze you in weird ways - good ways! I love it and agree its truly a new step forward - when I heard them play a couple tunes live last year I thought - THIS is the future.

I'll second Phlakaton's opinion that this is the future (my exact thought when I first saw them live at SeaProg in 2014).

"Spidermilk" demands several listens to reveal its inaccessible accessibility (or is that accessible inaccessibility?).
Regardless, it's truly progressive... and, IMO, genius.
