Matthew Bower resurrects his slumbering free-noise behemoth with this gorgeous blast of hypnotic, pummeling, droning crush. Equal parts shimmering skree, damaged motorik rhythms, murky and druggy psych-rock riffs and swirling fuzzed-out guitars. Exquisite Fucking Boredom's core is the epic, expansive and never ending four part suite 'Celestial Highway'. A sludgy sabbathy '70s rock riff, repeated adinfinitum. A dangerously unstable entropic jam whererin the riff slowly drifts apart, sinking into a churning tarpit of abstract whir and hum. Gradually mutating into a drifting, throbbing pulse as warbly synths, chirping birds, and thick washes of dreamy sonic turbulence overtake and subdue any traces of the original riff. Mesmeric and hypnotic and totally otherworldly.

The remaining tracks retain their Krautrockish propulsion but drift closer to Sunroof! territory. Loosening the psychedelic electronic riffscapes from their moorings, letting them float lazily through a gauzy soundscape of buzzing melodies, luminous shards of shimmering feedback and rumbling waves of drowsy, druggy drone.

The perfect music for the late-night downs trip? Quite possibly. I�ve listened to this album a bunch of times and even though it�s a single chord played for 50 minutes straight, (with various variations, etc.) it is probably one of the best sludgy drug-trip albums I�ve heard. Maybe they weren�t intending it, but I�ve found myself fucked-up on Valiums, listening to this and staring at a wall, and when you�re like that you can hear the smallest variations in the sound, and this album has so much going on within it that it�s impossible to figure it out from first listen. Let�s just say it�s Krautrock as envisioned by sludge metal, and that it�s great, and leave it at that.
