Volcano The Bear - That People Dont Know They Are Monsters

Review by Andrew Ellis

Volcano The Bear has once again proven that they are a force to be reckoned with in the experimental music scene with their latest album, That People Don't Know They Are Monsters. The album is a sonic journey that takes the listener through a range of emotions and soundscapes, weaving together elements of free jazz, noise rock, and avant-garde.

From the opening track, "The Idea That People Don't Know They Are Monsters," the band sets the tone for the album with a cacophony of dissonant guitars and thundering drums. The second track, "The Shy Volcanic Society at the Bear and Bird Parade," is a standout, with its haunting vocals and eerie instrumentation creating a sense of unease that lingers throughout the album.

The album is not without its moments of beauty, however, as tracks like "The Mirror" and "The Salt Garden" showcase the band's ability to create delicate and intricate melodies that are just as compelling as their more chaotic compositions.

Summary by Andrew Ellis

That People Don't Know They Are Monsters is a complex and challenging album that rewards repeated listens. Volcano The Bear has once again pushed the boundaries of experimental music and proven themselves to be one of the most innovative and exciting bands working today.
