FIRST UTTERANCE

i made sure to make this the first album i reviewed on progarchives, for good reason. 'first utterance' is truly a one of a kind album. it's like nothing you've ever heard before. interestingly, there is no use of a modern drum kit, but rather hand drums, which goes along perfectly with the acoustically guitar driven music. the vocals are quite eccentric, rotating between a manical, but awesome, male's voice, to a beautiful sounding woman's. i'm generally a person who doesn't give a shit about lyrics, if i even know them at all, but in this case, the lyrics are something to listen to. they're pretty messed up! songs about raping a woman, anti-religious, being a prisoner, etc. if you want to expand your horizon of music, check this band out, generally dubbed as 'acid folk,' deservingly so. best track = drip, drip
