The Neck Romancer

Frightening, morbid, sad, depressing, but still a masterpiece.

Toby Driver managed to synthetize the fear of death and despair into this album, in homage to his friend who lost her life to cancer. And what a hell of a incredible trip this album is. From the agonizing vocals on Calonyction Girl to the sighing woodwinds on the Abyss Hinge suite, everything is perfectly woven, even the terrifying parts that will scare away those who aren't familiar with avant-garde music in general.

Surprisingly, I don't seem to care about the dissonant saxes and Toby's wailing; I always see myself wanting to listen to this again.

PROTIP: Try listening to this in a dark, cold room.

HIGHLIGHTS: Calonyction Girl, Abyss Hinge suite, Cartogram Out of Phase.

My favorite album of 2010.
