ALASKAS - Set Yourself Free (2009)



Woah. WOAAAAAAAH. I am listening to this right now the first time through and I am a little bit blown away. This is a 25 minute sonic whirlwind. Its like a really aggressive, powerful, intense, and loud Panda Bear or something. Unlike Panda Bear who creates long, swirling, unfolding cosmic jams, ALASKAS songs are sharp as a knife. They submerge you in an altered state of rhythms and swirling hymn-like vocals that sound like they are bubbling up from the center of the earth. If you like mesmerizing rhythms of Animal Collective and Panda Bear, and if you like visceral noise jams, you really might want to give this a listen. I'll warn you though, this shit is LOUD. I'm definitely going to be checking back in with this one. poop
