Sarattma – Escape Velocity

Escape Velocity is the long-awaited follow-up to their 2017 debut EP, ‘’Inner Spaces’’. The Philadelphia duo of Drummer Sara Neidorf (Mellowdeath, Aptera) and guitarist Matt Hollenberg (Cleric, John Frum, John Zorn) have created a debut album that defies normal descriptors on its journey through many musical landscapes

Despite being so well thought out and crafted, there is an organic development to this record that combines post-rock with metal, technical jazz, and some psychedelic sixties seventies infused musical exploration that is combined with an industrial mindset. An example is “‘Sciatic Haze’ where the excellent hi-hat work gives a real sense of urgency to the huge riff before the song literally deconstructs itself before re-assembling with some excellent percussion and double bass work.

Using some incredible complex patterns and melodies Escape Velocity never becomes self-indulgent, this is pure musicians’ music where the song fully explores itself with scant regard for commercial leanings, each track is an individual moment made cohesive by the incredible talent on display. A combination of the organic and the mechanical, Escape Velocity is unafraid to be subtle and sublime but also raucous and incredibly intense. It takes the terms progressive and utterly deconstructs them finding pace and power with time changes, deft guitar work, and a mindset unencumbered by popular current musical thought.

‘’ To Touch the Dust’’ and ‘’ Twilight Realm of Imaginary Notes’’ are more moments of greatness encapsulated within a truly remarkable album. Its emotive language tangible yet unable to contain like time.

An epic instrumental piece of art that is demanding, fully involving, and incredibly rewarding. Escape Velocity is the album that transports the listener willingly to new realms of experience.
