Le Mur
Exorta (vinyl)
Review by Gary Hill
This new vinyl release from Le Mur is very classy. In the first place, the record is high quality, and the music is captivating and unique. They include a download code, too. I will say that I did download the music because I needed to be sure where one track ended and another began for my track by track review. That said, comparing the two versions, I prefer the sound of the vinyl, but I'm biased toward vinyl, so take that as you may. I would also say that just letting this run, without worrying when one song begins and another ends, is the best way to enjoy it. This is psychedelic, and trippy and quite proggy. There is a post prog, shoegaze element at times, but this is never really limited by one sound. It is experimental and largely without constraints. It's also very cool.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) in Music Street Journal: 2019 Volume 1. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2019.
