A double album opus, Acid and Ecstasy synaptically sabres a host of immersive soundscaping, raucous rock moments and lyrically sharpened balladry we’ve all come to expect from this troubled troubadour plus plenty of fleshy surprise. Seven weighty tracks that potently tangle you up in the best of ways and chauffeur you around an eclectic circus of unadulterated genius. Displace dis-belief and crucify your curiosity - you will not be disappointed… Thighpaulsandra is a veteran of many music worlds, and displays it on his kaleidoscopic multi movement tracks. With his first album in six years, Acid & Ecstasy, he whizzes through a particularly electrifying set of stylistic left turns. ‘Princess Margaret’s Mellotron’ starts off with guttural spiritual ambience before swerving into a twisted rock ‘n’ roll breakdown. A tripped out, irreverent take on the 2020s Britpop re-revival powered ultimately by a vast array of electronics and Coily industrialism, the track somehow expertly blends trickling gamelan polyrhythms, marching band brass, and murky ambience into a genre defying art rock mixture.
