Isn't the guy on the cover identical to Lenin? St. James Infirmary returns with a fifty-minute epic and elevating journey of kosmische-inspired drone. 29-minute first track "The Great Anger Approaches" builds on an anthemic medieval accordion melody, with an unforgiving high-pitched guitar loop tuning perfectly with the accordion, and bringing to mind the finest moments of Ashtray Navigations, while also having perhaps a sense of Skullflower's latter-day obsession with sustained guitar noise. Track two, "Default Jazz Afternoon," is a completely different story. Based on a midi saxophone melody, and an additional synth theme, this is a weird Musick To Play In the Dark-era-Coil-meets-arcade-games-midi-music. I picture this either as a Sega Master System game theme, or background hypnagogic music for carpet commercials on a very early-morning schedule, that could easily be sampled by James Ferraro, were he to ever return to his earlier hypnagogic masterpieces. Lovin' this, and so should you, so go to Wormhole World's bandcamp and support!
