Hampshire-based experimental trio Parachute For Gordo<\/b> return with their third album, \u2018Possibility Of Not’<\/i>, a collection of six epic soundscapes taking in flavours of shoegaze, prog, punk, math and post-rock. The result is something entirely original and captivating right from the first listen.<\/p>\n

Opener \u2018Jellied Eels’<\/i> is a slow burning instrumental post-rock number, gradually building to a crescendo of heavy dub guitars and effects, swirling bass and a solid rock groove keeping it all together – think Mogwai meets De Facto. \u2018Anemone To The Manatee’<\/i> is a more traditional arrangement \u2013 the presence of vocals and a delightful guitar hook throughout the first section provide the perfect set-up for the instrumental middle, with guitar work that is reminiscent of bands like Youthmovies and Foals. It ends with a stunning wig-out that is up there with vintage Mars Volta.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018Wallet Moth’<\/i> is more laid-back, another instrumental opus introducing the first nod towards the band’s penchant for electronica. This continues in \u2018Gopher The Throat’<\/i>, with delayed guitar licks played over a processed beat before the real drums kick in alongside more industrial noise effects \u2013 it’s a bold set of ideas clearly inspired by a broad spectrum of musical styles and tastes, but it really works. <\/p>\n

\u2018Cornholio Slaps The Goose’ is a fun riff-based tune built on a great platform of grooving bass and tight drumming. Oddly, the intro does kind of sound like I imagine a goose being slapped would.<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Closer \u2018Put Your Hands Up If You Like Sloths’<\/i> starts with a wall of noise, effects and feedback before delivering the best eight and a half minutes of off-kilter, clever and interesting experimental rock I’ve heard in a long time. It’s easily the album’s highlight and offers a demonstration of all their ideas going into the collective pot.<\/p>\n

It may only be six tracks, but at 35 minutes, \u2018Possibility Of Not’<\/i> has got more to say than some bands do in three albums.<\/p>\n

4\/5<\/p>\n

‘Possibility of Not’<\/i> by Parachute For Gordo<\/b> is released on 13th March on Rose Coloured Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
