THEM MOOSE RUSH

Dancing Maze DOSTAVA ZVUKA

Weird and wonderful tales from non-linear Croatians

This whimsical Croatian three-piece inhabit a realm where prog’s familiar elements are twisted and amplified into compositions of grand psychedelic design. Standard-issue riffs tilt in bizzaro angles and frenetic melodies loop across dizzying time signatures. Here the band resume their alchemical experimentation with its 11 tracks centred around a conceptual maze, where each song’s titular protagonist faces their own Herculean challenge. Dolly’s Wedding Song – a funked-up banger with a creeping melody – concerns Dolly Parton shaving her monkeys. Sonny’s Hidden Money lurches and swaggers to a wickedly demented backbeat before ebbing into a cavernous psychedelic breakdown. There’s a lot to unpack here but stick with it. The rewards are huge. ■■■■■■■■■■
