MH-252 Lymbyc Systym - Love Your Abuser  Love Your Abuser, the debut full-length from Arizona’s Lymbyc Systym, is a sprawling post-rock epic. Brothers Jared and Micheal Bell have created an album of ten distinct pieces that capture an emotional range not often seen in instrumental music. From the playful to the sublime, Jared creates the core of Love Your Abuser with layer upon layer of vintage keyboards and effects. Michael’s virtuoso drum work and tasteful programming add the perfect complement to the melodies. The album maintains a consistent sound throughout, yet each composition stands on its own. Without uttering a word, Lymbyc Systym have made one of the most powerful statements in the Mush Records catalog. |

| An impressive collection of instrumental, electronically-enhanced post-rock from Arizona-based brothers Michael and Jared Bell, Love Your Abuser is a multi-faceted beast of a record. Starting with the melodic laptop-shaped introduction, ‘Rest Easy/Age Kindly’ the album gets off to a rather grand, epic start, followed up by the title track, a fuzzy collage of distorted drums, Mum-style harmonium and sweetly jangling percussion. The maxed-out beats and Sufjan-style brass section on ‘Astrology Days’ make for a potent cocktail, and the emotive – if slightly ominous – glockenspiel-enhanced ‘Truth Skull’ sounds akin to Mogwai, albeit with a hip hop element. Impressive stuff. - Boomkat |
