Really cool keyboards and really nifty beats are about the extent of this Arizona duo's sonic vocabulary. Hear this as proof that they're all you need. Lush phrases hook us as themes without ever quite becoming melodies, and we get a scheme of entrancement that refuses neat resolution.
Love Your Abuser, the debut full-length from Arizona's Lymbyc Systym, is a sprawling post-rock epic. Brothers Jared and Micheal Bell have created an album of ten distinct pieces that capture an emotional range not often seen in instrumental music. From the playful to the sublime, Jared creates the core of Love Your Abuser with layer upon layer of vintage keyboards and effects. Michael’s virtuoso drum work and tasteful programming add the perfect complement to the melodies. The album maintains a consistent sound throughout, yet each composition stands on its own. Without uttering a word, Lymbyc Systym have made one of the most powerful statements in the Mush Records catalog.
