Exploded View

Wilder and stranger than Anika's previous work, Exploded View is an unpredictable ride that suggests listeners should follow wherever she beckons.

The fact that Exploded View was recorded in single takes, and performed with such impressive skill, demonstrates a symbiotic connection between four musicians who assuredly savor in their unearthly energy.

Exploded View morph into even more of a singular being on songs like the 'Call On The Gods' and 'Disco Glove', their sound jerking around like a misshapen mechanical entity with Anika at the head, her voice crackling through processed production.

Messy, discordant, and beholden to the serrated edge, there’s nonetheless a seam of verisimilitude in the execution.

The sounds of sex, intoxication, and infinite bliss are what drive this record. Exploded View is something troubled, and in its consistency does it succeed in showing itself as such.
