From the opening patter of "Pattern of Thoughts" to the propulsive chants of "Cyborganization," Dances in Dreams of the Known Unknown feeds on the tension between lean and bright song production and the hefty, sometimes surreal sounds produced by Nordwall and Fagerstroem's guitars. Daniel Higgs' (Lungfish) spontaneous, metaphoric poetry is as perplexing as ever, but it is delivered with a clarity not heard since his days fronting Lungfish. Album centerpiece "The Known Unknown" is centered around a driving riff, with Nordwall turning the song's title into a mantra as intense as it is transcendent. Throughout, the group anchors their riffs with exotic sustained chords, adding a distinctly Carnatic flavor. First 500 copies on clear vinyl.
