The time has come for another Adarkah Ianqu experimental release, this one called indefinite. It means just what it says, with no pious pact or precioous plot presented, only razor-edged sounds that establish doubt, indecision and masochistic analysis.
"Indefinite'"s tracks cater to cerebral concerns, and their resulting behaviors are ambiguous and even more so, amorphous in their sinister spread.
The fruitful ambiguity flies high in the opening track, "shoal", which like prior Ianqu, album openers forges entrance into arduous avenues, forcing the need to touch down, but never finding a good enough cause to land.
With the tone set, others tracks follow suit, with "internal fortitude" being a long, sickened gut rumble and "was far the coldest sea", a splashing shiver. "Useless focus" and "lost evening raindrops", however, are the alpha-omega drip, drip, drip of trips, with more than a few clang, clang, clangs to keep one's mind in fickle flux.
"Sanctimonious" is much more percussive in its petering pep, skidding along with a series of one-two punches and a few hard kicks, but as reckless as it is, it's the album's inner-probing that best defines it.
"Hypocrisies square" and "personal hypnosis" epitomize such probing, shoveling one ever deeper into a state of desolate rationalization. The subsequent sensations are strange to say the least, and if one dares to keep digging, downright scary.
And speaking of scary, the experiment's finale, "sickly laughter" is cream of the crop: a pensive program where Joker-jesting psychosis rules after the punch-drunk therapy has ceased.
