After a brief hiatus Intelligent Life is back with their new album “Analogies.” Drawing inspiration from Herman Melville’s novel “Moby-Dick” the trio further delves into the complexities of life through experimentation and exploration of the avant-garde. Soulfully recorded and intricately detailed, sounds and emotions richly interweave through idiosyncratic harmonics and rhythms. Giving way to a high reaching vision the music surfs the architecture of an electronic structure that is constantly in flux.

There is a sublime tenderness here. Amid cascading harmonics a complex yet informal conversation is going on. Subtle melancholic strains, teased out through distortion techniques and odd phrasings, push the boundaries of experimental music. Much like Komorebi, the Japanese word for sun light filtering through trees, the electronics, bass and trumpet lines dapple and scatter as they transform dreamy into ethereal.

“Analogies” is a compilation of quiet introspection. A sense of wistfulness prevails. Impeccable audio production showcases the interplay of sounds. Captured beautifully, its message of wisdom, reason, and comfort are crystal clear.

“Wonderfullest things are ever the unmentionable; deep memories yield no epitaphs”
― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick
