Ziggurat - PREFACE (2019) EN

The Texas-based Ziggurat on their new album decided to play with the listeners with riddles. But even without that, the music on Preface is intriguing, even though the album is only an appetizer for the incoming main dish.

Part of the album refers to a mythological story. Which one? We don't know as the artists avoid spoiling the mystery and the listener has to figure it out alone. There's a hint though in "the cryptic poem that's included as a bonus item with the album download", and the solution is going to be on the incoming long play. Interesting idea, isn't it?

Musically speaking, the album is based on the piano sounds with some extremely eclectic post-rock.  The apparent chaos created by the Americans begins in Six Skulls and doesn't go away until the very last track. It brings a lot of jazzy vibes but also does not feel abstracted from the post-rock spirit of the album.

PREFACE costs 7 USD.
