Album Notes & Community Reviews
An incredibly esoteric, highly rhythmic instrumental triumph, 'ECIM' serves as a crucial early building block for the post-rock genre. Cul de Sac blends hypnotic krautrock propulsion with noisy avant-garde experimentation and finger-picked surf guitars, crafting a surreal, deeply psychedelic listening experience.
