Andrew Liles - Colossus Amalgamation Codicil Appendix
Review by Bhupendra Singh
Andrew Liles’ latest album, Colossus Amalgamation Codicil Appendix, is a stunning work of experimental music that pushes the boundaries of sound and composition. The album features a diverse range of styles and influences, blending elements of ambient, noise, avant-garde, and electronic music into a seamless and cohesive whole.
From the opening track, “The Great Beast Speaks”, Liles creates a sense of unease and tension that permeates the entire album. The use of dissonant chords and eerie sound effects creates an unsettling atmosphere that is both captivating and unsettling. This feeling is carried through to tracks like “The Legacy of the Wasp” and “The Terrible Secret of the Black Mountain”, which use distorted vocals and industrial sounds to create a sense of foreboding and dread.
Despite its dark and unsettling tone, Colossus Amalgamation Codicil Appendix is also a deeply immersive and rewarding listening experience. Tracks like “The Sea and the Mirror” and “The Garden of Earthly Delights” are hauntingly beautiful, with delicate piano melodies and lush orchestration creating a sense of melancholic nostalgia.
