Much more musical and slightly less abstract that SIX SOVIET MISFITS, Icarus' album for Leaf, I TWEET THE BIRDY ELECTRIC sees them diving straight into melodic free-jazzpost-rock. So something like freepost jazzrock. Ganglion still has off-kilter percussion, but your attention is drawn to the topside sounds of guitar and electronic piano, even as the percussion grows more insistent and takes over by the end. Akin to free jazz in sound, yet obviously the fruit of minute attention to detail, I Tweet The Birdy Electric is difficult listening: snatches of static abound, rhythm is just as often melody as not, tracks waffle and hiss. It reminds of Squid Ink, yet the details set it apart. Город: free to Icarus I Tweet The Birdy Electric Ganglion, Essen and more. 11 tracks 65:31. Track one, Ganglion, achieves the remarkable feat of delivering beats which are simultaneously frenetic and low-key. Icarus have clearly been on some moonlight raids to their local junkyard. Once home their ill-gotten gains are evidently marshalled into some sort of order, though their musical forms are still rather ragged at the edges. Such reference to organised free improvisations, though surely oxymoronic, is not intended as criticism - in fact it's a distinct commendation. Exclusive discount for Prime members.

This is a very different Icarus than most previous releases, one that is much less rhythmic and propulsive, and far more contemplative. Akin to free jazz in sound, yet obviously the fruit of minute attention to detail, I Tweet The Birdy Electric is difficult listening: snatches of static abound, rhythm is just as often melody as not, tracks waffle and hiss. It reminds of Squid Ink, yet the details set it apart. While Squid Ink suffered from a rather bland predictability, I Tweet offers up strokes of humor and some seemingly random noises. "Jokun's Civet" is short, sweet, and replete with electronic sounds that, well, sound like a cat! "Birdz Max" samples songbirds (and it works). "Three False Starts" should be the highlight, as it stretches along, continually developing, pulling you in ways no academic exercise can. On the whole, it feels as if Icarus' experimental searchings have ended, and now their mastery of that approach has begun.
