Atsuko Chiba’s Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing (January 20th, 2023 via Mothland) is as stylistically diverse as it is thematically anchored, as catchy as it is challenging. Asymmetric, yet seamless time signatures, otherworldly synthetic frequencies, patented harmonies, raga-inspired melodies, cryptic lyrics and orchestral arrangements co-exist within this surreal musical tale recounting one’s relation to their environment. For fans of The Mars Volta, Beak> or Spirit of the Beehive.

Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing d’Atsuko Chiba est tout à la fois stylistiquement diversifié et thématiquement ancré, étrangement accrocheur et défiant à l’écoute. Les signatures rythmiques asymétriques y sont subtiles, supportant fréquences synthétiques et extraterrestres, harmonies audacieuses, mélodies rappelant des ragas, paroles énigmatiques et arrangements orchestraux, le tout coexistant au fil d’une épopée surréelle retraçant l’individu et son environnement. Pour les fans de The Mars Volta, Beak> et Spirit of the Beehive.

lyrics

I’m often shook
I’m lost in rage and harboring
I’m often shook
Things I can’t say encumbering
Digest, complain
Yes, I can’t sustain

about

Atsuko Chiba Montréal, Québec

Montreal’s Atsuko Chiba venturesomely crosses genre-defining borders with a cohesive and hypnotic blend of post-rock, progressive rock, and krautrock, weaving together a rich sonic tapestry that subverts through offbeat songwriting. The psychedelic armada is back with Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing (January 20th, 2023), unearthing a fierce collection of droney, yet bombastic compositions. ... more

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that. QNdNas7kQgBG5fi

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
