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. |

| It sounds simplistic, but few electronic acts ever go for full-on optimism. The Bell brothers aren't interested in the negative: their full length debut, Love Your Abuser keenly plumbs the depths of good cheer with lush melodies and a rich sampling of electronic textures. What keeps the album from sounding precious is a certain contemplative quality and clear attention to song structure. The Bells love their melodic moments: lone piano ripples like sonic pools on "Idle Wires," while the cinematic "Fall Bicycle" could provide a percussive soundtrack to your coolest drug induced dreams. - XLR8R |
