Angeltape, which arrived five years after her debut, marks Drahla's bold return and solidifies her transition to a darker, more tonal sound. But that doesn't mean the best parts of his previous work aren't rekindled, as familiar existential questions continue to permeate through the avant-garde arrangements. “Until you reach resistance/How do you know?” Luciel Brown poses at the beginning of “Under The Glass.” There is a fascinating juxtaposition that runs throughout the record, with opposing ideas and structures placed side by side. “Default His Parody” leans toward the free experimentalism of his line, with its frenetic guitar and irregular saxophone, establishing an abstract interpretation of an esoteric subject matter. Similarly, “Second Rhythm” features vocals interspersed with wispy guitars. And while it's played better in certain respects than others, the band's diverse selection of instrumental textures remains a defining feature. Dissonant harmonies permeate everything from the frenetic, riff-driven “Talking Radiance” to the piano-driven, minimalist touch of “Venus.” At over five minutes long, “Grief In Phantasia” provides a decidedly extravagant finale. Underpinned by rolling drumbeats and dissonant guitars, visceral lyricism oscillates between moments of adversity and liberation. An intentionally frenetic record, 'angeltape' is one of his controlled art forms of rock chaos, making for a raucous but equally mesmerizing listen.
