Out of the murky world of Australian music comes an album so assured and accomplished it is impossible to believe it a young band's debut.
One of the most surprising things about this album is how effortlessly it seems to find the golden middle way between its intellectual ideas and its emotional core, which is a rare thing to find in a concept album like this. The lyrics, the notes, the voices, the sounds, the ideas and the emotions all fuse together in a sumptuous atmosphere - a dark and beautiful inner landscape, full of shadows and mystique, that beckons you to return back to it.
And although Anubis does not break new ground, following in the footsteps of Pink Floyd, they are not easily boxed into a single musical genre, and their music stands on its own, having a strange, almost hypnotic power.
Now rumor has it that a new album is on its way, and I can't say that from listening to this one that I predict what it is going to be, but I know it is going to be magical, I know it is going to be a journey, and I cannot wait!
