| | Description: | Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard. now known simply as MWWB. There has been some speculation amongst fan circles that the final part of the trilogy of albums that preceded this, marked the end of Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastardâ??s five-year mission. Not so. We can categorically confirm that having officially slimmed their name down to the acronym, MWWB are continuing their voyage through the far reaches of the galaxy. The first phase of that journey is their new album â??The Harvestâ??. â??The Harvestâ?? is the bandâ??s fourth album, and of course it is a record shot through with the trademark heavy MWWB sound, and their unique blend of metal and shoegaze. However it also sees the band adding more experimentation, a progressive approach, and going a bit more left field conceptually. To some extent, it shares similarities with Pink Floydâ??s â??Dark Side Of The Moonâ??. Not only by having the mix of experimentation and melodicism as that seminal record, but also in the way that it has been engineered and constructed as a seamless piece. Nine tracks flowing into one another. Space age riff monsters segueing into shorter musical interludes, where John Carpenter, rubs shoulders with Pink Floyd and a maelstrom of moog and mellotron. There are surprises, and of course a bucketload of heavy shit. With â??The Harvestâ?? MWWB have refined and honed their sound, itâ??s a carefully crafted distillation of ideas, written, conceived and sequenced to be listened to in its entirety (preferably in one sitting). MWWB have always loved film scores and this new album is in many ways, the soundtrack to a film. MWWB provides the musical narrative (the song titles also provide a pointer) and the listener's imagination does the rest. â??Oblok Magellanaâ?? and its spooky atmospherics set the scene. before things really kick in with the riffs of title track â??The Harvestâ??. A grooving Sabbathian chug introâ??s Jessica Ball, who at the top of her game throughout. Her voice simultaneously sweet yet dark; almost neofolk; which when put against those riffs, is always a startling juxtaposition, nevertheless it perfectly crystallises MWWBâ??s distinctive dynamic. â??Interstellar Wreckingâ?? is a succinctly crafted nugget of John Carpenter-esque drama, you can imagine the thundering mothership forging its way through the universe on some nameless quest before encountering â??Logic Bombâ?? and its fat fuzzed-up ride through light and shade guitar/vocal interplay. Ballâ??s voice soaring and shimmering throughout. â??Betrayalâ?? gives a nod to Pink Floydâ??s â??On The Runâ?? but with its freaky spoken word and four on the floor kick itâ??s almost a dance track, yet thereâ??s no incongruity here. â??Altamiraâ?? is epic MWWB, adding large doses of psych into a melodic concoction of dreampop and metal. Ballâ??s vocals here are many layered and textured effortlessly gliding through the weight of the backing. â??Letâ??s Send The Bastards Whence They Cameâ?? is another little gem. A plaintive repeating synth figure that builds with bass, drums, mellotrons and synths into â??Strontiumâ?? which rounds off the albumâ??s â??heavyâ?? numbers, a blend of monster grooves, and Ballâ??s swooning vocals. Finally, and outstandingly, Jessica strips things back to a distorted guitar and voice on â??Moonriseâ??. Shorn of the layers of fuzz, it is a simple, beautiful and fitting catharsis to an epic voyage. MWWB are a thrilling proposition. They demonstrate that you can seamlessly mix crushing power, experimentation and delicate vulnerability into something that transcends any genre. MWWB are Jessica Ball, vocals and synths. Paul Michael Davies, guitar and synths. Stuart Sinclair, bass and Dom McCready, drums. - 4 PANEL DIGI W/ 4P BOOKLETCD package is a 4 panel digipack, with a 4 page booklet.
