Search - Lithium Project :: Many World's Theory

Swerving from their most probable musical path, Jason Farall and Kenny Clarke's latest Lithium Project intrigue sees them settling into an altogether more fluid batch of songs, departing from the grit-studded production of debut album Passo Fundo. Something's happened. A rebirth, perhaps? Whatever the cause, the effect is startling to hear. A sharper focus has pushed their sound into a zone occupied by the purest of originators, and while it maintains a dark connection, it's the stuff you're glancing into rather than peering out from. Like all exploratory musical forms there's a beguiling broth of tones and textures to absorb here, but with a sure-footedness that again suggests a new-found clarity. Even the rhythms, close-up and delicately understated, follow suit. Ingenuity and unselfconscious emotion have, it would seem, conspired to make Many Worlds Theory a remarkable album.
